The Tamil Nadu government has decided to approach the Supreme Court to lift the temporary stay that prevents the creation of basic facilities on Janmam lands in Gudalur, located in the Nilgiris district.
It will request the Supreme Court to allow the cases related to the Tamil Nadu Gudalur Janmam Estates (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Act, 1969, to be heard separately from other pending cases.
Since the lands had reached the end of their lease period, the Govt started to reclaim Janmam lands covering an area of 34,986 acres.
