Amartya Sen, the distinguished Nobel laureate, has received a notice from Visva-Bharati University, which requires him to justify why he should not be evicted from a 13 decimal plot that he is allegedly occupying unlawfully. The university has requested that Sen provide a response to the notice by March 24 and appear before Ashok Mahato, the Joint Registrar and Estate Officer of the central university, by March 29, either in person or through a representative, with supporting evidence in his defense. The notice has warned that failure to comply with the university's request may result in the case being determined ex-parte, meaning that the case will be decided without the presence or involvement of Sen or his authorized representative. It is important for Sen to respond promptly and present documentation to substantiate his claim that he is not occupying the plot illegally.
