Kerala Officials to Survey CPI-M Headquarters After High Court Order
Revenue officials are expected to measure the land occupied by the AKG Centre on Tuesday.
The Kerala High Court ordered the state to check the property’s boundaries.

A petitioner says land meant for university research was used for the CPI-M headquarters.
The petition also claims the occupied area is larger than the original allocation.
These claims have not been established by the survey described in the article.
Officials will review boundaries and records to find out whether university or public land was encroached upon.
The university’s Estate Officer is expected to be present.
