Bench asks for compliance report from Corporation Commissioner
The HinduActing on a contempt petition, a single judge at the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has directed the Madurai Corporation Commissioner to file a compliance report on the steps taken to improve the basic amenities in residential areas near Ulaganeri. Originally, A. Lakshmana Perumal, a court staff, had moved the High Court Bench stating that the residents of 500 houses in Rajiv Gandhi Nagar, its extension areas and Classic Park near Ulaganeri were subjected to extreme hardship because of the poor condition of a narrow stretch, the only approach road. Justice K. Venkataraman passed an order on July 26, 2012, with directions to the Corporation Commissioner to consider Mr. Lakshmana Perumal’s plea to provide good roads, street lights, drinking water and drainage facilities, apart from putting an end to the menace of stray dogs at the residential localities. However, stating that no actions were initiated, Mr. Lakshmana Perumal filed a contempt petition against the Commissioner accusing him of ‘wilful disobedience’ of the court’s order.
