    High court asked questions to the government for not paying the rent of the temple

    Chennai (IANS). The Madras High Court on Wednesday pulled up the Tamil Nadu government for non-payment of outstanding rent to the Ardhanarishwara temple in Veeracholapuram for construction of Kallakurichi collectorate and other buildings on the temple property.

    Former chairman of the board of trustees of Adalat Mandir S. Davigan was responding to a public interest litigation (PIL). The petitioner had complained that the government had not paid the outstanding rent of Rs 57.60 lakh as per the court order and had not renovated the temple which was in a dilapidated condition. The court had earlier passed an order to pay the advance deposit due on March 30, 2023, and arrears of monthly rent at the rate of Rs 1.6 lakh from July 2020. The first bench of the Madras High Court included Justice S.V. Shamil Gangapurwala and Justice P.D. The advocate general was questioned about the delay in depositing the money in the temple’s account even after instructions from Audikesavalu. The advocate general sought two months from the bench to deposit the money, but the court refused to accept the plea and directed the state government to make the payment in the next four weeks. Counsel for the petitioner N.Gr. Prasad told the court that activist Rangarajan Narasimhan had filed a writ petition in 2020 against the use of temple land for the construction of the collectorate, superintendent of police office, other government offices and district courts for Kallakurichi district. Which was carved out of Villupuram district. Rangarajan Narasimhan’s writ petition was argued for three years and on March 30, 2020, a Madras High Court bench of then Acting Chief Justice T. Raja and Justice D. Bharat Chakraborty allowed the government to continue with the construction. However, the court directed the government to lease an area of 34.817 acres at the rate of 1.6 lakhs as monthly rent. The court had also directed the government to pay the dues from 2020.

    Housewife entitled to half of husband’s property: Madras High Court

    Chennai (IANS) | The Madras High Court has held that a housewife is entitled to half of her husband’s property. A single-judge bench of Justice Krishnan Ramaswamy observed that a housewife works round-the-clock without any break from her daily routine to run a household. The judge said that the woman taking care of the home also acts as a home doctor by providing basic medical assistance to the family members.

    He further said that a woman would be entitled to an equal share in the properties bought by her husband from his earnings.

    The court said that the husband would not have been able to earn money without the support of his wife to take care of the family. The court said, the property may have been purchased in the name of the husband or wife, yet it should be deemed to have been purchased from the money saved by the joint efforts of both the husband and the wife.

    After devoting herself to the care of her husband and children, a woman cannot be left without anything to call her own.

    The court said that even though no law has so far been enacted to recognize the contribution made by the homemaker, the courts may well recognize the contribution, and ensure that when women are rewarded for their sacrifice, When it comes to that, they should get proper justice.

    The court made the observation while disposing of Kannian’s second appeal in 2016 against his estranged wife, whom he had married in 1965.

    The couple had two sons and a daughter. The person worked in Saudi Arabia between 1983 and 1994.

    After reaching India, he lodged a complaint that his wife was encroaching on properties bought with his earnings, and also alleged that the woman was having an extra-marital affair.

    After the death of the woman, her children fought a case against their mother, Kansala Ammal. The elderly woman had sought a share in her husband’s property.

    In 2015, a local court rejected Ammal’s claim of equal share in three of the five properties and assets.

    However, a single bench judge of the Madras High Court held that even though the disputed property was acquired by her husband from his own savings, Ammal was entitled to a 50 per cent share.

    SRIHARIKOTA: Scientists at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Sunday commenced the 27.5 hour countdown for the launch of a navigation satellite on board a GSLV rocket here on May 29.

    The Bengaluru-headquartered space agency has drawn up plans to launch a second generation navigation satellite series which would ensure continuity of NavIC (Navigation with Indian Constellation) services.

    The satellite would provide real-time positioning and timing services over India and a region approximately 1,500 km around the mainland. The countdown for the lift-off commenced at 7.12am on Sunday, ISRO sources said.

    The 51.7 metre tall Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle, on its 15th flight, would carry the navigation satellite NVS-01 weighing 2,232 kg on Monday at 10.42 am from the second launch pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SHAR) here, about 130 km from Chennai.

    Nearly 20 minutes after the flight, the rocket is scheduled to deploy the satellite in a geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO) at an altitude of about 251 km, ISRO said.

    The NVS-01 carries navigation payloads L1, L5 and S bands and in comparison to the previous one, the second-generation satellite series would also carry an indigeneously developed Rubidium atomic clock.

    “The L1 navigation band is popular for providing position, navigation and timing, services for civilian users and for interoperability with other GNSS (global navigation satellite system) signals,” ISRO said.

    The Rubidium atomic clock, indigenously developed by Ahmedabad-based Space Applications Centre is an important technology which only a handful of countries possess, it said.

    Some of the applications of the NavIC series include terrestrial, aerial and maritime navigation, precision agriculture, location-based services in mobile devices and marine fisheries, among many others.

    Monday’s mission is the sixth operational flight of the GSLV with indigenous cryogenic stage. The mission life of NVS-01 is expected to be better than 12 years, ISRO said.
