The Madras High Court on Friday directed the State government to evict Shanmuga Arts, Science, Technology and Research Academy (SASTRA), a deemed university based in Thanjavur, from 31.37 acres of government land in its occupation for nearly 40 years.
The Third Division Bench of Justices S.M. Subramaniam and C. Kumarappan said the Thanjavur Collector could even seek the assistance of the police to evict SASTRA from the property, required for setting up a prison, within four weeks. The orders were passed while the court dismissed two writ petitions filed by SASTRA in 2022 challenging a Government Order (G.O.) issued on February 23, 2022.
