Court orders confiscation of Shivamogga DC office furniture over compensation delay
Shivamogga: The District Court has issued an order to confiscate the furniture of the Shivamogga Deputy Commissioner's office due to a delay in compensating a landowner after the acquisition of his property for road development.
In 2011, the Karnataka State Highway Improvement Project (K-SHIP) acquired a portion of land belonging to Agadi Ashok from Shiralakoppa in Shikaripur taluk. Agadi Ashok approached the court, claiming that he had not received the legally mandated compensation for his land.
The High Court had earlier directed that Rs 4.44 crore be paid to Ashok, with Rs 3.93 crore to be settled within three months. However, due to the failure to make the payment on time, the District Court has now ordered the confiscation of the Shivamogga Deputy Commissioner's office furniture. The Third Additional District and Sessions Judge ruled that the items remain in custody until further notice.
Advocates PV Khare and Dinkar Bhat have represented the complainant in court.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
