Patna, (Bihar Times): May sound strange nevertheless true. The building and land housing the Rohtas collectorate was on Thursday auctioned on the order of the local court.

According to reports notwithstanding the local court’s order given last year to the government no compensation was paid to Ramashish Singh, whose land was acquired by the administration in 1974. The land was actually acquired to construct Agriculture Marketing Yard in Sasaram. But later the collectorate came up on this land.

The government acquired 3.95 acres of land. On Thursday it was auctioned for Rs 56,78,940. Ramashish Singh was the highest bidder. Later he said that he would adopt legal methods to take legal possession of the property if the administration fails to vacate it soon.
