The Hindu
"This court has got a duty to protect water bodies,” the judges said.
The Madras High Court has ordered a joint inspection by Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA), Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) and the revenue officials of the sprawling Peravallur Eri in Kolathur to find out the extent to which the water body had been encroached upon by "land sharks." Justices N. Kirubakaran and T.V. Thamilselvi perused the revenue records submitted by public interest litigant G. Devarajan and were prima facie satisfied that the revenue officials had illegally granted patta to various persons with respect to the property which had been classified as a water body.More Related News
