Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction by directing the Government to allot a specific building for the District Munsif-cum-Judicial Magistrate Court, emphasizing that the judiciary should not encroach upon the executive's domain. The Court reiterated that while the judiciary can request accommodation for courts, it cannot issue binding directives regarding government property. The appeal was accepted, and the impugned judgment was set aside, with a request made to the Chief Secretary of Tamil Nadu to resolve the accommodation issue collaboratively with the High Court's Registrar General.
