Dismissing a habeas corpus petition, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court imposed a cost of ₹1 lakh on a petitioner and her husband after it was brought to light that the petition was filed to hide from a money dispute.
The court was hearing a petition filed in 2020 by J. Sowkiyadevi from Thoothukudi district. She said that her husband K. Jeyavelan, an advocate, had borrowed money from his friend Abdul Rahman and was regularly paying the interest.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
