Summary: Arunkumar A. is fighting to get a fair amount of money for his land in Tiruvallur. The court has told the District Collector to take another look at his case within six weeks.
Arunkumar A., from Nerkundram, Tiruvallur, had his land taken by the government under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. He got some money for it, but later found out that others got more money for similar land. He asked the court to have his payment looked at again.
On January 23, 2026, Judge Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy of the Madras High Court looked into Arunkumar's case. He asked for an official order to make sure the District Collector rechecks his payment, based on a previous court decision from January 29, 2024.
"The person making the request says he sent an application on April 24, 2024, under Section 28A of the Land Acquisition Act."
Arunkumar's lawyer, Ms. Harini P.M., showed a letter from the District Collector dated May 17, 2024, as proof that the application was sent on time. The court accepted this as evidence.
The government's lawyer, Mr. P. Sathish, agreed to look at the application again. The court ordered the District Collector to take care of Arunkumar's application within six weeks after getting the court's order.
"This request is closed by telling the first person in charge to look at and decide on the person's application from April 24, 2024, within six weeks."
The District Collector in Tiruvallur must now quickly reassess Arunkumar's payment. This decision could affect others in similar situations, making sure everyone is treated fairly.
