Free house plot has been given to several persons belonging to the same family.
Do not violate the law
Relatives of one person also informed that many friends have been illegally given house plots. Only the people belonging to Sakimangalam village should be given house plots but the people belonging to nearby villages have been given plots in violation of the law.
A scheme developed for poor people
As the government has created this scheme for the people who are earning a living by doing wage work, they themselves are forced to be unable to benefit. The revenue officials are issuing the pattas illegally.
Petition hearing

And when this petition came up for hearing, the judges found that the revenue officials were illegally implementing the scheme provided on behalf of the government.

Madurai District Collector and District Collector should respond accordingly and ordered to file a petition for the same. It is to be noted that the hearing of the case has been adjourned for the next two weeks in which the Madurai District Collector and the Revenue Department have been ordered to file a reply along with the relevant documents related to the case.
