Around 11 families living in Laqere Stage 10 in Nasinu have been given two months to vacate the land on which they are currently squatting on by the Suva High court.
Master of High Court Anare Tuilevuka while handing down the order notes that the land in question registered under the Nasinu Land Purchase and Housing Co-Operative Limited and comprises 326 acres and two roads.
The land in question is undeveloped and for quite some time, people have been squatting on the land.
Master Tuilevu said all the defendants in the case knew they had no right to be on the land and they have not shown the cause why they should not give up the vacant possession.
He ordered that the families living on the land in question are to vacate the land within two months and the three defendants in the case are to pay Nasinu Land purchase $350 each.
Meanwhile, Nasinu Land Purchase and Housing Co-Operative Limited has two other eviction cases pending before the courts which includes Laqere stage nine and a total of around 200 families are living on these lands and also face eviction.
