The Madras High Court has called for a status report from the Nilgiris district administration with respect to the steps initiated by it to resume 26.12 cents of land in Jagadha village, Kotagiri Taluk from film producer and actor Pooja Bhatt.
Chief Justice Sanjay V. Gangapurwala and Justice D. Bharatha Chakravarthy called for the status report due to conflicting claims made by State Government Pleader (SGP) P. Muthukumar and Ms. Bhatt’s counsel Karthik Seshadri with respect to the resumption.
While the SGP claimed the land had been resumed by the Kotagiri Taluk Tahsildar from the actor, the latter’s counsel stoutly denied the claim and contended that she continued to be in possession and enjoyment of the property.
