Hand over Rly premises for coach terminal, HC tells school

The Madras High Court has directed a school here to vacate premises and hand over possession to the Railways, which owned the land, before April 30, 2019 to carry out coaching terminal work, and made it clear that no further extension of time would be given.

Disposing of an appeal filed by the school against a single judge order, directing it to vacate the premises, a division bench comprising justices R Subbiah and P D Audikesavulu said the Railways, could, meanwhile, start preliminary work for its project.

"It is open to the Railways to commence other preliminary works to give effect to the coaching terminal works. It is made clear that no further extension of time will be granted to the appellant School beyond 30 April 2019."
