Court order to attach office properties

PALANI, JULY 26, 2018 00:00 IST

For failing to honour the order of a sub-court even after seven years, the court in a fresh order directed attachment of all movable properties at the office of the Adi Dravida Welfare here on Wednesday.

When a land measuring 1.20 acres, belonging to Periasamy of Alavalasu near here, was acquired for construction of housing for Adi-Dravidars, the government had given a settlement cheque for Rs. 10,300. Not satisfied with the compensation, the land owner approached the court seeking relief. In 1998, he was offered Rs. 72,000. Again, aggrieved, the petitioner appealed.

The case, which was heard at the sub-court here, finally ordered a compensation of Rs. 1,32,112 in 2011 and disposed. However, even after seven years, when the government did not respond, the petitioner approached the court, which had ordered to pay 15 % interest per annum as additional compensation.

As there was no sign of relief or obeying the order, Periasamy, armed with an order to attach the movable properties of the AD welfare office, arrived with the court staff. However, the staff at the AD welfare office, sensing embarrassment, locked the office and fled. The court staff waited till 6 p.m. and as no one turned up, they left the spot.
