Vishwa Bharti had sent notice earlier also
Earlier, Vishwa Bharati had pasted a notice on the main gate of Amartya Sen’s Shantiniketan residence. Simultaneously, a notice was also sent to Sen by e-mail, in which Visva Bharati had said that the matter would be disposed of on April 19 through a final order.
At the same time, in the land dispute case, Vidyut Chakraborty, Vice-Chancellor of Visva Bharati, says that Amartya Sen’s father Ashutosh Sen had taken only 1.25 acres of land on rent for 99 years in 1943. In this way 13 decimals of land should be returned. He said that since January this year, three letters have been sent to Sen regarding the matter.
At the same time, on April 17, Sen had sent an e-mail regarding the matter. The university’s claim on the leased portion of the land has no legal basis, Sen wrote. Describing himself as the owner of the land, he said that this land was given to me after the death of father Ashutosh Sen and mother Amita Sen.
