The Madras High Court on Tuesday directed the State government to consider the possibility of immediately taking on lease 6.51 acres of temple land situated right opposite the main entrance of the Madurai Bench of the High Court since the acquisition proceedings might take long.
Justices G. Jayachandran and K.K. Ramakrishnan said since the High Court Registry had sent a proposal to the State government for acquisition of the land to expand the activities of the Madurai Bench and such acquisition might take time, the government could consider taking it on lease in the interregnum.
