HC orders CB-CID probe into alienation of Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board property

The Madras High Court has ordered a Crime Branch-Criminal Investigation Department (CB-CID) probe into multiple ownership claims over a valuable piece of commercial land belonging to Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board, now renamed as Tamil Nadu Urban Habitat Development Board (TNUHDB), at MGR Nagar in Chennai.

Disposing of a 2013 writ petition, Justice M. Dhandapani directed TNUHDB to forthwith cancel the 1993 allotment of 188 square metres of the land to the petitioner K. Veeraraghavan and also cancel a sale deed executed by the Board in favour of one K. Chandrabose in 1995 with respect to 96 square metres of the same property.
