Delay in relief disbursal to farmer: Court orders Kalaburagi DC’s car seizure

 

Kalaburagi: A civil court has ordered to confiscate a car belonging to the Deputy Commissioner over the delay in releasing compensation to a farmer.

Kalappa Methre from Udachana Village lost 33 gunta farmland as it got submerged during the Bhima Lift Irrigation Project in 2008.

A compensation of Rs 7.41 lakh was to be released to Kallapa towards the same. Despite the court’s order, DC Yeshwanth V Gurukar had failed to release the compensation amount.

Taking serious cognisance of the matter, the court ordered confiscation of his car (regn no. KA 32 G 9990). Acting on the directive, court staff along with the advocate seized the car.
