The court cannot be a mute spectator when public property is converted into private property by creating false documents of title and usurped by individuals, observed the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court.
The court made the observation while directing a trial court to frame charges against people who transferred a village temple property at a much lesser value. The court directed the trial court to resume trial and complete the same as expeditiously as possible.
The court was hearing the petition filed by the Deputy Superintendent of Police Melur Sub - Division. An FIR was registered against nine people for conspiring to grab a village temple land in Melur taluk.
