The Madras High Court today came down heavily on the way some Trusts were formed and land transferred to it saying nowadays "even goondas are creating Trusts."
Justice N Kirubakaran questioned the creation of some Trusts to get transfer of hundreds of acres of land to it while hearing a case where government land to the extent of 66 acres were registered to one Trust.
Now a days, "even goondas are creating Trusts", he said adding agricultural lands are just shrinking in view of the purchases made in the guise of establishing educational institutions and housing colonies.
