Supreme Court Upholds Patta Cancellation, Orders Alternative Land for Tamil Nadu Flat Owners
The Supreme Court upheld the cancellation of a 'ryotwari patta' over land designated as a government water body in Tamil Nadu's Tiruvallur district. The court directed the state government to provide alternative land to 20 flat owners before demolishing their apartments, aiming to prevent financial hardship. The judgment emphasized that the flat owners were misled by official records about the state's interest in the land and ordered the allotment of a suitable site within six months before demolition proceeds.
