Notice to Collector on order to vacate burial grounds
Staff Reporter
CHENNAI: The Madras High Court on Tuesday ordered notice to the Coimbatore Collector and the Assistant Executive Engineer of the Public Works Department (Irrigation Sub-division) on petitions seeking to quash the latter’s order directing the Annur Town Panchayat and Annur Dakni Sunnath Masjid Jamath Committee to vacate burial grounds in the village.
A Division Bench, comprising Justices T. Sudanthiram and K. Kannan, ordered notice returnable by a week. In her petition, Annur Town Panchayat president S. Vasanthamani submitted that the burial grounds maintained by the panchayat and the mosque were on the corners of an Eri Poromboke land and were in use for several years.
The Collector had sanctioned Rs.1.23 lakh in 2005 for constructing a cremation shed on the burial ground maintained by the panchayat.
The Assistant Executive Engineer had, all of a sudden, in September 2008 issued notice to the petitioners to vacate the burial grounds.
The Jamath committee, in its petition, submitted that the order passed by the PWD was arbitrary, illegal and against the principles of natural justice.
