KERALA HIGH Court on Thursday declined to interfere in a plea seeking to enhance the compensation announced by the state government to rehabilitate the survivors of the deadly landslides that hit the hilly areas of Wayanad last year.

The court orally observed that the survivors, who want to opt out of the proposed township, cannot demand more money than what the state government has offered as it is not something that they can ask for as a right.

The Bench comprising Justice A K Jayasanakran Nambiar and Justice Easwaran S made the observation when a suo motu case registered in the wake of the Wayanad landslides came up for hearing.
