The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Tuesday ordered the Tamil Nadu government to waive off loans availed by farmers from cooperative societies.
The state government had earlier waived off loans of farmers owning land up to five acres.
However, the farmers filed a case for waiver of loans irrespective of land holding.
The court had ordered waiver of gold loan also.
