The Hindu
The petitioner wanted Supreme Court orders implemented
The Madras High Court on Wednesday called for a report from the Chief Secretary on the steps that need to be taken to pull down unauthorised statues erected on government lands and public places in the State.
Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee and Justice P.D. Audikesavalu called for the report following a public interest litigation petition by advocate M. Loganathan of Coimbatore. He wanted the Supreme Court orders against unauthorised statues to be implemented.
The petitioner insisted that all illegal statues, including the two bronze statues of former Chief Ministers M.G. Ramachandran and Jayalalithaa, on Avinashi Road and Dr. Balasundaram Road junction in Coimbatore, should be razed.
