    Case Summary: WP/21080/2026 Court Decision: The Madras High Court dismissed Viswanathan's petition seeking to stop construction of a new bus stand adjacent to Shri Ulaganadha Perumal Temple in Thirukovilur. The court held that administrative authorities, not courts, are best judges of municipal planning decisions like bus stand placement unless patent illegality or mala fides is proven—neither established here. The court rejected the petition as lacking substantive evidence beyond photographs and bare assertions. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
