Vijay prevailed in case over land allotted by Tamil Nadu
In 2008, Tamil Nadu allotted actor Vijay a plot in Chennai in Anna Nagar Western Extension.
The plot measured 11,854 square feet and was allotted by the state’s Housing and Urban Development Department.
The allotment followed a 1969 land acquisition in Padi village, when the government took 2.37 acres from Rathinapandian for a Tamil Nadu Housing Board scheme.
Rathinapandian’s son, R. Karthikeyan, challenged the allotment in the Madras High Court in 2009.
The state said the land was needed for the project and that the plot was allotted to Vijay in exchange.
