Quick Summary: The Sri Ammachar Amman Temple in C.Meyyur, represented by its trustee Dharmalingam, filed an appeal to speed up their case. The Madras High Court, led by Justice Abdul Quddhose, has now scheduled a hearing.
The Sri Ammachar Amman Temple, located in C.Meyyur Village, Villupuram District, has been involved in a legal issue. The temple, represented by its trustee, Dharmalingam, filed a request under Article 226 of the Indian Constitution. They want the District Collector and other officials in Villupuram to address their appeal from April 17, 2025.
The temple's main request is simple: they want their official appeal, dated April 17, 2025, to be handled quickly. This appeal was based on an earlier notice from August 22, 2025. The temple is eager to see this matter resolved without further delays.
"Sri Ammachar Amman Temple seeks for early processing of their pending appeal dated 17.04.2025 by the third respondent."
On January 27, 2026, Justice Abdul Quddhose heard the case. Mr. D. Ravichander, the Special Government Lawyer, represented the District Collector. He confirmed that the appeal has been scheduled for a hearing on February 23, 2026. This is a positive step for the temple, as they now have a clear date to look forward to.
The court has instructed the District Collector to handle the temple's appeal within 12 weeks from receiving the court's order. This decision must consider any objections from the fifth respondent, Ramalingam, and follow fair procedures.
"This request is resolved by directing the District Collector to resolve Sri Ammachar Amman Temple’s appeal... within a period of 12 weeks."
The Madras High Court has set a hearing date for the temple's appeal and has given a 12-week timeline for the District Collector to make a decision, considering any objections. This provides hope for a timely resolution to the temple's case.
