Yadgir CMC’s movable properties attached in land acquisition case
The Yadgir City Municipal Council's movable properties, including computers and furniture, were attached by court staff due to its failure to pay ₹2.18 crore in compensation for a four-decade-old land acquisition case. The CMC had initially paid ₹20 lakh in 1983-84 for 6,656 sq ft of land, but the owner sought higher compensation, leading to the current court order.

The Yadgir City Municipal Council on Tuesday faced legal consequences in a four-decade-long case after court staff attached its movable properties, following the court’s direction.
The First Additional District and Sessions Court’s staff, who followed the court’s direction in an execution petition, have attached the movable properties, including computers, tables, chairs, air coolers and other equipment, of the CMC after it failed to oblige the court’s earlier order in the land acquisition case, directing it to pay compensation against land acquisition proceedings.
