justices G Jayachandran and KK Ramakrishnan on two petitions filed in 2019 to protect the said 9.49-acre land belonging to Kodandaramaswamy temple — that comes under the Thirumohur temple administration

The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Wednesday issued a series of directions to the Madurai collector, superintendent of police, the district environment engineer and the executive officer of Thirumohur Kalamega Perumal temple to take action against panchayat officials and polluters over dumping of garbage in a temple land in Othakadai.

The directions were issued by a Bench of justices G Jayachandran and KK Ramakrishnan on two petitions filed in 2019 to protect the said 9.49-acre land belonging to Kodandaramaswamy temple — that comes under the Thirumohur temple administration — from pollution and encroachment. In the previous hearing last week, the judges had appointed an advocate commissioner to inspect and file a report on the state of the land.
