Abandon Pattinapakkam Assembly-cum-Secretariat complex project, insists a PIL plea before Madras High Court
Petitioners have filed a public interest litigation in the Madras High Court demanding that the Pattinapakkam Assembly‑cum‑Secretariat complex be scrapped. The suit argues the project violates legal and environmental norms. The bench, comprising Chief Justice Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari and Justice G. Arul Murugan, is scheduled to hear the matter on 5 October 2026. The petition seeks a directive for state to halt construction activities at the site.
