Madurai The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has granted a stay on the Single Bench order that directed the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) to pay market value of a property in Virudhunagar district after it failed to construct a telephone exchange for which the land was acquired. A sale deed was executed in favour of BSNL in 2001. A Division Bench of Justices M. Duraiswamy and K. Murali Shankar granted the stay. The case was adjourned by two weeks. The Single Bench had taken a serious view of the fact that the BSNL had not constructed a telephone exchange even after 20 years. While selling the land, the landowner had asked BSNL to name the building after his father.
