A foster child of former Chief Minister MG Ramachandran approached Madras High Court claiming that some other legal heirs of the late Chief Minister were constructing an indoor stadium at Ramavaram Thottam in violation of the terms of a will.
Geetha M Mohan (the Petitioner) claimed as per the will, that the property could not be altered. The Division Bench of Justice K Kalyanasundaram and Justice V Sivagnanam directed the Chennai Corporation to respond to the Plea by November 30.
The Petitioner argued that, as per the will dated January 18, 1987, she and four others had joint ownership of the property, including a deaf and dumb home and Higher Secondary School for speech and hearing impaired children.
The beneficiaries have made an oral partition among them and are residing in their respective portions. All other infrastructure in the property like garden, temple and swimming pool are common for all.
In the meantime, Sudha Vijayakumar, one of the beneficiaries, started constructing permanent structures in the common area to house, an indoor stadium and a volleyball court.
The above mentioned action also prohibits the beneficiaries from sale, rent, lease or alienate the property, the Petitioner added. She submitted that despite several complaints made to the authorities concerned they have failed to act.
