The news that has emerged out now is that the High Court in Madras has issued an interim stay against the order of the Kancheepuram collector suspending the signing powers of the president and vice-president of Uthukadu village panchayat in Walajabad
It must be noted that the elected representatives have failed to adopt a resolution to transfer 2.34 acres of govt land to a private firm. The Collector issued the order on 28th November and panchayat president Savithri Manikandan and her deputy Vanaja wanted the order to be quashed. Earlier, the collector has suspended the powers of these 2 important people in dealing with the local body finance and in issuing permission on construction, providing license etc.
The block development officer or BDO has issued a letter and as per that letter they both sought transfer of Anadeenam land of 2.34 acres to CGD Space Core Pvt Ltd. Point is that the panchayat has not passed the resolution as requested by BDO but the consequential orders have been passed.
Mrs. Savithri Manikandan claimed in her petition that before adopting the resolution the petitioners sought the company details. She added that instead of providing the details the officers threatened the president and VP and ward members would face consequences.
