State of Tamilnadu Rep by District Collector vs Kottar Vagaiku Trusteekal Chithambaram Chettiyar — 96/2024

The court held that the current trustees of Kottar Chettu Nainar Desiga Vinayagar Devasthanam Trust are entitled to receive compensation of Rs. 65,16,923/- for land acquired by Southern Railways under the RFCTLARR Act, 2013. The court determined that since the property's patta stands in the trust's name and the current trustees were duly elected, they are the competent persons to alienate and claim compensation for the land, which must be deposited as a fixed deposit with interest credited to the trust's bank account.
