The Madras High Court has directed the DMK government in Tamil Nadu to remove encroachments on properties belonging to Adheenams and Mutts across the state within 12 weeks.
The order came while hearing a petition filed in 2018 by Radhakrishnan, trustee of the Thiruthondar Trust, seeking removal of encroachments from properties belonging to the Sengol Adheenam at Nedungunram in Thoothukudi district. The petition stated that several properties of the Adheenam in Thoothukudi and Tirunelveli districts were under illegal occupation.
During earlier proceedings, the High Court had directed that all Adheenams and Mutt heads in Tamil Nadu be impleaded as respondents in the case.
A division bench comprising Justices SM Subramaniam and C Kumarappan, after hearing the matter, ordered the state government to clear encroachments on properties belonging to Adheenams and Mutts within the stipulated 12-week period.
