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.
