Mysuru: The city’s First Additional Civil Court has attached the furniture from the MCC Commissioner’s office for non-payment of additional compensation to land loser farmers.

The Government after acquiring a total of 14.20 acres of land owned by four farmers at Gorur in the taluk in 1997, had handed over the land to the MCC for setting up of a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP). But the MCC had failed to pay additional compensation to the farmers, following which the four land losers Shankar, Dakshayini, Vijayashakar and Shivaswamy knocked on the doors of the Court.

The Court which heard the land losers plea, ordered payment of Rs. 8.83 crore as compensation. But the MCC failed to pay the ordered compensation.

Shankar, one of the land losers, moved the Court again, seeking Rs. 66 lakh compensation for his 1.2 acre of land, when the Civil Court ordered attachment of the MCC Commissioner’s office and as well as the Commissioner’s Assistant office.

Soon as the Court issued attachment order, MCC Commissioner K.H. Jagadeesha made an appeal seeking two months time for payment of compensation.

The MCC Commissioner promised to immediately credit Rs. 10 lakh to the account of the Shankar, following which the attached furniture and other articles at them MCC Commissioner’s office were returned back.
