Support for the Indian Army has never been in wanting, but a 74-year-old injured war veteran, Hindurao Ingale, from Satara has been running from pillar to post to fight for a piece of land, which should have been given to him a year ago, after an order by the Bombay High Court.
The HC has now directed Ingale to file contempt proceedings against the state for not adhering to the court's order. But for Ingale, who has been doing the rounds of the court for the last 11 years, and served the country in the India-Pakistan War of 1971, this battle for land has been the longest and the most arduous.
