The Kerala High Court has granted the State government an additional two weeks to complete the eviction of families residing on a contentious parcel of land in Malayidamthuruth. This extension was granted on Monday following a petition submitted by the Ernakulam Rural Superintendent of Police. The court emphasized the necessity of respecting the Supreme Court's order in this matter, stating that technical difficulties should not impede the implementation of a judicial directive. The court also noted that delays in eviction proceedings undermine the authority of the judiciary.
The State government had requested a two-week period to devise a solution and comply with the Supreme Court's directive to evict seven families from Pariyathukavu, a Dalit settlement located near Kizhakkambalam in Malayidamthuruth. The families in question are the respondents in the case and have asserted that they have been residing on the land for three generations.
