The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court’s direction to conduct the survey of Thirupparankundram Hill was against the Supreme Court order, said advocate S. Vanchinathan at a press meet held in Madurai on Tuesday.

He said the Supreme Court order stated that no further suits could be registered in the country against places of worship till further orders from the Supreme Court. The SC further directed that in pending suits courts should not pass effective interim or final order, including order for survey.

The TVK government in the State should file an appeal against the High Court’s direction. The State should also file appeals in all connected matters with regard to the Thirupparankundram issue. Suggestions of retired judges should be sought in all sensitive issues and cases, he said.
