A court in Jaffna has ordered the police to return 2.5 acres of land occupied for a police station since 2005. 

The land, located in Kopay, had been under police control for over three decades.

The directive was issued by Jaffna District Judge C. Satheeskaran on July 27, following a legal case filed in 2019 by seven Tamil individuals who are the original owners of the property.

Despite the ruling, police failed to comply, prompting the court to deploy a bailiff yesterday (15) to enforce the verdict.

A separate case is still pending, seeking the return of an additional half-acre of land. (Newswire)
