The Tamil Nadu government on Friday informed the Madras High Court of having asked Chennai Collector to ascertain the availability of government land within the city limits for relocating the Chennai Dr. Ambedkar Government Law College, now functioning from two campuses in Pattarai Perambudur in Tiruvallur district and Pudupakkam in Chengalpattu district.
Appearing before the first Division Bench of Chief Justice Sanjay V. Gangapurwala and Justice J. Sathya Narayana Prasad, State Government Pleader A. Edwin Prabhakar said, the Revenue Department had written to the Collector on April 3 and sought information about the availability of a suitable land within the city limits for relocating the college back to the city.
The submission was made following an order passed by a Bench comprising the Chief Justice and Justice D. Bharatha Chakravarthy on March 23, directing the SGP to take instructions from the government on finding a suitable place in Chennai city itself for the government law college. The order was passed after advocate N.G.R. Prasad insisted on relocating the college to the city.
