evidence: Visva-Bharati’s eviction order against economist Amartya Sen illegal: Bengal court [...] Kolkata: West Bengal’s Birbhum district court on Wednesday passed its verdict in favour of Nobel laureate Amartya Sen saying the April 2023 eviction order by Visva-Bharati university, accusing him of illegally occupying 13 decimals of the 1.38 acres of leased land on the Santiniketan campus, was illegal, lawyers said. [...] Sen’s lawyers moved the Calcutta high court after Visva-Bharati - Bengal’s only central university set up by Rabindranath Tagore in 1921 - passed the order on April 19 last year.
