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 accommodations, it cannot mandate the allocation of government property. The appeal was accepted, the High Court's order was set aside, and the Chief Secretary of Tamil Nadu was requested to engage with the Registrar General of the High Court to resolve the accommodation issue.
