- A woman lawyer has been detained by police in Chennai over alleged property theft of land supervised by the Madras High Court.
According to reports, the Madras High Court is presently in control of a 22-acre vacant plot of land that stretches from Otteri Varadhammal Garden to the rear of Chennai Purasaiwakkam Abirami Theater. The land was purchased by Kandasamy Naidu for the education of underprivileged students after India gained independence in 1947. The land was specifically bought to benefit students’ education, and after Naidu’s death, he left a Will directing that it be managed by the government under the name ‘Trust of Madras’. The location is currently managed by the Trust of Tamil Nadu, which operates under the direct supervision of the High Court, led by the District Judge.
