The High Court Bench had earlier directed that all shops on the temple premises must be vacated. They sought permission to carry out trade till December 31 as per the court’s order as their income depended on it. The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Thursday allowed a petition filed by the Meenakshi Sundareswarar Koil Kadaikarargal Sangam which sought a direction to permit its members to open their shops at Amman Sannithi (51 shops) till December 31. The High Court Bench heard a number of petitions, representing various shrines from across the State, seeking an alternative site to set up shops, as a remedy. However, the court granted time till December 31 so that the shopkeepers could find an alternative site to set up shops.
