Madras High Court directs its Registry to send proposal to T.N. government to acquire 9 acres of land opposite Madurai Bench

The Hindu  

The Madras High Court on Wednesday, June 7, 2023 directed its Registry to send a detailed proposal to the Tamil Nadu government within a couple of days, explaining the need to acquire over nine acres of land situated right opposite the main entrance to the Madurai Bench of the High Court, to cater to the growing infrastructure needs of the bench. The petitioner, M. Saravanan had stated that 9.46 acres of barren land opposite to the Madurai Bench belonged to the Kothanda Ramaswamy Temple in Y. Othakadai in Madurai, and that it could be acquired by the State government and given to the High Court for parking of vehicles of those who visit the court. Concurring with the A-G that the government would be able to assess its financial liability only if the High Court Registry sends a detailed proposal listing out its requirements, the Bench recorded the submission of advocate B. Vijay, representing the Registry, that a detailed proposal regarding the requirements would be submitted to the government within two days. Since two individuals also had claimed ownership over the land opposite to Madurai Bench, that could be decided depending upon their case pending before the Supreme Court, he said.
