The Kerala government has filed an appeal in the Kerala High Court to contest the eviction of seven Dalit families from Malayidamthuruth, located near Kizhakkambalam in Ernakulam district. This legal action comes after the Perumbavoor munsiff court directed the families' eviction, citing an approaching deadline from the High Court. The court had previously mandated police and other services to assist in the eviction, but the advocate commission tasked with enforcing the order has faced significant challenges, returning without executing the eviction on 15 occasions. In response to the situation, the United Democratic Front government intervened, pledging to support the families legally and ensure that no police action would be taken against them during the eviction process. The ongoing land dispute involves a claim by a private individual over 2.5 acres of land, which the families assert they have occupied for generations, claiming it is government land. The High Court is set to hear the government's plea on June 4, 2026.
