KOCHI: The Kerala High Court on Thursday granted the state government a final two weeks to file its counter affidavit in a public interest litigation challenging the 1977 allotment of Kerala University land for the construction of the AKG Centre for Research and Studies in the state capital.
The building, until last year, housed the CPI-M's state headquarters in Thiruvananthapuram.
A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Soumen Sen and Justice Syam Kumar V.M. was hearing the plea filed by a former Joint Registrar of Kerala University, who has questioned both the legality of the original land assignment and the extent of land currently in the party’s possession.
