MaduraiThe Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has ordered an interim injunction against the National Highway Authority of India and the Kanniyakumari district authorities from taking possession of lands for widening a National Highway. However, no notice of the enquiry was issued and instead a notice asking them to vacate the land was issued, they said.
