A number of cases have been received by the courts of law from Indians who left their property in Uganda following the expulsion of Indians and the British in Uganda in 1972, by the then Ugandan president Idi Amin Dada.
Shell Uganda, a petrol dealing company, is set to compensate another Indian family with Ugandan citizenship that lost their property following the expulsion of the Indian community.
The family claimed that the property in issue is situated at Plot 49 on Ben Kiwanuka Street in Kampala city centre which the oil company has been occupying since then belongs to them and should therefore have it and be compensated.
On Tuesday, the court ordered Shell (Uganda) Limited to pay shs204M as rent for the property that the family had left behind.
A few years ago, several other families had asked the court to order so many Ugandans to pay back their property that they had used following the expulsion.
