Court directs petitioner’s counsel to appropriately advise him
The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has taken a serious view of the fact that the family had not received the body of remand prisoner P. Muthu Mano, who was murdered in Palayamkottai Central Prison, even after more than one and a half months of the conduct of post mortem.
Hearing a petition filed by A. Pavanasam, father of the deceased, a Division Bench of Justices T.S. Sivagnanam and S. Ananthi asked the petitioner’s counsel why the earlier order of the court to receive the body and perform the last rites was not complied with. It directed the counsel to appropriately advise the petitioner.

Exercise of the power by the then Collector was illegal: HC
Expressing shock over the fact that a private person in Karur district had been permitted to lay pipelines to extract water from a well in a land close to Amaravathi river, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court observed that the entire Karur district administration had acted in the interest of one person.
A Division Bench of Justices T.S. Sivagnanam and S. Ananthi quashed the order passed by the then Collector S. Malarvizhi who permitted laying of the pipelines. Directing removal of the pipelines, the court said the entire cost to be spent towards removing them should be recovered from the private person, S. Shanthi.
