Dinakaran land issue: Impleading plea opposed in Madras HC : Justice is required for Justice

hennai: Former Tamil Nadu advocate general, Mr N.R. Chandran, opposed a batch of pleas by two organisations seeking to implead them in the petitions of villagers staking claim to land allegedly encroached by Karnataka High Court Chief Justice P.D. Dinakaran in Kaverirajapuram village.
Appearing for the claimants to the land, Mr Chandran contended in the Madras High Court that once the order was pronounced it was final and the impleading petitions could not be entertained thereafter.
On November 6, Justice K. Suguna had dictated an order on maintenance of status quo pertaining to the land on petitions staking claim to the land. The judge had, however, not signed the order but allowed further
arguments on the matter.
He said even if the court had come across any new material after delivering its order it was open to the court to hear the petitioners
but no one could implead at that stage.
Human Rights Advocacy and Research Foundation, represented by its director, Mr Ossie Fernandes, and Peoples' Watch executive director, Mr Henri Tiphagne, had filed impleading petitions, opposing the claim to the land. They contended that the claimants of the land were not bonafide and their contention of alleged possession of lands, which were part of "anadeenam" lands in the village, was a "falsehood".
