The orders were passed after Additional Government Pleader E. Manoharan said, the lands where the buildings had been constructed fall under ‘no development zone’ though patta had been issued for them way back in 1911. “You must have applied due diligence before purchasing the property. Now your property is right inside the Bay of Bengal,” the senior judge in the Bench told counsel for the private automotive firm.
