Here's a breakdown of a recent court decision involving a request for a free house site in Vellore. Let's dive into the details!
On December 18, 2025, the High Court of Madras, led by Judge Abdul Quddhose, heard a case filed by M. Thamizharasan. Thamizharasan, from Vellore District, asked the court to tell local officials to think about his request for a free house site.
Thamizharasan had sent in a request on August 15, 2025, asking for a free house site. He based his request on a government order from February 21, 2025, and a decision from May 30, 2008. These documents support the approval of housing for people living on government land.
"The petitioner claims that according to the government order and decision, he should get a free house site."
The court instructed the District Collector of Vellore and other officials to consider Thamizharasan's request. They have 12 weeks from receiving the court's order to make a decision. The court stressed that the request should be looked at fairly and according to the rules.
The officials now have a deadline to respond to Thamizharasan's application. This decision shows the court's role in making sure that government orders are followed and people's requests are considered.
So, that's the scoop!
