Coimbatore: A group of landowners, who gave 61.82acres to the Tamil Nadu State Housing board (TNHB) 30 years ago, received Rs 43.36lakh as compensation on Saturday.

TNHB had acquired the lands in 1988 from various people to construct houses at Uppilipalayam near Singanallur. But, the state government gave a meagre compensation.


Demanding more, the landowners filed five cases before the second additional sub-court. The court ordered TNHB to provide Rs 1crore to them.


At the lok adalat held in the Coimbatore Integrated Court Complex on Saturday, a group of landowners, who had filed three cases, agreed to receive Rs 43.36lakh as compensation from TNHB. After talks between the judges, landowners and TNHB officials, TNHB agreed to provide the compensation. Principal district judge R Sakthivel issued the order.


The lok adalat was held as per the National Legal Aid Services Authority’s order. As many as 3,072 cases, including motor claims tribunal original petition cases, cheque cases, civil cases, land acquisition cases, pre-litigation cases and petty cases were solved.
