P.Arumugathai, v. the Chief Secretary to the
Case brief
What is this about?
The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court allowed the writ petition and quashed impugned circulars and orders regarding the eviction of the petitioner from a temple shop. The court held that since the Supreme Court had set aside the relevant circular, the petition must be allowed, leaving the temple management to proceed with eviction strictly in accordance with law.
What did the court decide?
The writ petition is allowed; the impugned orders are quashed; the petitioner is directed not to be evicted from the shop; consequential miscellaneous petitions are closed.
