Kerala High Court Issues Notice to CPM State Secretary and AKG Centre Over University Land Transfer The Kerala High Court has issued a notice to the CPM State Secretary and the AKG Centre, demanding details regarding the transfer of university land. The court ordered both parties to provide information in response to a petition challenging the legality of the land transfer. The petition was filed by RS Sasikumar, a social worker and former joint registrar of Kerala University. Sasikumar alleges that the transfer of 15 cents of land to the AKG Centre in 1977, based on a government order, lacks proper legal documentation. He also claims that the AKG Centre has unlawfully occupied an additional 40 cents of university land. The petitioner argues that the AKG Centre is not a legitimate educational institution and therefore does not qualify for such land allocation. During the hearing, the court cited the petitioner’s legal arguments, which highlighted the absence of supporting documents for the land transfer. The court’s notice follows the submission of a counter-statement by the government, which failed to provide the required records. The next hearing is scheduled for May 21. The case has sparked debate over the transparency of land transfers involving public institutions. Critics argue that the lack of proper documentation undermines the legitimacy of the transfer, while the government maintains that the process adhered to existing regulations. The outcome of this case could set a precedent for similar disputes involving public property.#kerala_high_court #kerala_university #akg_centre #cpm_state_secretary #rs_sasikumar
