evidence: Visva-Bharati’s eviction order against Amartya Sen was not legal: Court Visva-Bharati’s eviction order against Nobel laureate Amartya Sen, to vacate 13 decimal of 1.38 acres of land on the university campus last year, was illegal, the district court in West Bengal’s Birbhum said on Wednesday. [...] "We challenged the eviction order, saying the law it (varsity) cited was not applicable at the time when Sen’s father, Ashutosh Sen, took the land on lease from Visva-Bharati. Moreover, the university could not furnish any document relating to the lease agreement executed in 1943," Sen’s lawyer Gorachand Chakraborty said.
