The district administration had fixed a price of Rs 200 per cent for the property.
The land owners moved the sub-court in 1982 and then the High court, following which compensation for the land was fixed at Rs 30 lakh and government was directed to pay the compensation before January 31 this year.
As the authorities had paid only Rs 10 lakh and failed to pay the balance despite reminders, an execution petition was filed before Sub-Judge Hemant Kumar, who ordered seizure of the vehicle.
