The concerned authorities had granted its physical possession along with the marking pillar to the competent of authority of KU of that time. In this regard the University reserves the rights to claim its legal ownership. So, the present construction should be demolished. Beside this, a similar letter was also sent to the District Co-ordination Officer (DCO) land in the same dates but the answer has not been received as yet.

Despite this, a petition is submitted by the illegal owner of the concerned press which is against CDGK KDA wing and KU. In the light of the actual facts, the University has requested the High Court that the present illegal owners should be ejected from the KU land.
