The Supreme Court has appointed its former judge L. Nageswara Rao as a mediator to resolve the disputes between Cosmopolitan Club in Chennai and Tamil Nadu Golf Federation (TNGF) with respect to the ongoing construction of a club house on the Cosmo-TNGF golf course.
The court, however, did not pass any interim order restraining the federation from going ahead with the construction work. A Bench of Justices M.R. Shah and Krishna Murari merely appointed Justice Rao as a mediator and directed only the club to bear his entire remuneration.
The judges also requested the mediator to submit a report before the court by November 25 and directed the Registry to list on November 29 an appeal preferred by the club challenging Madras High Court’s August 11 order refusing to injunct TNGF from constructing the club house.
