CASE SUMMARY: Loganathan v. State of Tamil Nadu (MA Diary 17103/2026) The Supreme Court dismissed the petitioner's Special Leave Petitions but expanded the case into a pan-India investigation of building code violations. The court expressed concern that the petitioner constructed a G+1 building without sanction, undetected by authorities, and directed Tamil Nadu to explain an officer's order (dated 22.03.2024) that halted demolition despite violations. The court appointed an Amicus Curiae and directed municipal corporations and municipalities across all state capitals to conduct comprehensive inquiries identifying residential areas misused for non-residential purposes, with detailed reports due by 15.05.2026. Next hearing: 20.05.2026. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
