Court itself in danger of facing legal action

March 21, 2011

Mangalore, March 21: The Assistant Commissioner's (AC) court itself here on Monday faced the risk of legal action for neglecting the verdict of 2nd Additional Senior Civil Court, which had asked the former to provide increased compensation to families displaced from Malavoor village during the process of land acquisition for Mangalore Airport in Bajpe in 1999.



The government had distributed the minimum compensation of Rs 1,100 for one cent of land for the displaced people. However, eight among the land losers, identified as Cheyyabba, Beefathima, Badruddin, Hasanabba, Abdul Khader, Sadu Shetty, Rajeeva Shetty and Ahmed Beary, had appealed to the court demanding just compensation.



After prolonged proceedings, the Civil Court has ordered the AC court, which is responsible for the distribution of compensation in this issue, to increase the compensation to Rs 7240 for one cent of land.



When the AC Court failed to meet this demand, the petitioners had once again appealed to the Civil Court, which in turn on February 28 ordered officials to seize the AC court before March 26 if it fails to meet the demand. However, when the eight Amins of Civil Court on Monday reached AC Court to execute the order five days prior to the deadline, Assistant Commissioner Prabhuling Kavalkatti requested them to grant a week's time to study the issue thoroughly.



Later, speaking to media persons Kavalkatti said that about Rs 40 lakh is necessary to act upon the order of civil court, which has raised the compensation amount for one cent from Rs 1100 to Rs 7240. He said that he will immediately write a letter to the state government briefing the development and urging to release fund.

Thrissur, Mar 7: A local temple in Kerala is at the centre of a social media storm after the picture of a ''Brahmins-only toilet'' outside its main campus went viral on online platforms, prompting the management to remove the signboard.

The picture of three toilets, with signboards showing "Men", "Women" and "Brahmins", at the Kuttumukku Mahadeva Temple in Thrissur, has gone viral with many social media users viewing it as an unethical practise that can portray the progressive state in a bad light.

However, temple officials said the toilets were located outside the main campus and the board was brought to their notice only now.

Kannan, an official of the temple committee, said the board was placed nearly two decades ago and nobody raised any complaint against it so far.

"That particular toilet was being used by priests and other temple employees. We didn't even notice that board... As soon as we came to know about it, we removed it and affixed a staff-only board," he told PTI.

Also a CPI-M functionary and ward councillor, Kannan said the shrine and it's management was against all kinds of unethical customs.

The temple official said they were planning to pursue legal measures against the man who posted the photo of the toilets on social media.

"We suspect that he did it deliberately to create issues during the time of the festival and to tarnish the shrine's reputation. Not only that, the photo he shared was an old one though he claimed that it was taken during the time of the festival, " he said.

This comes amid a number of cases, pending against Singh, including those under the Karnataka Forest Act.
