ORDER
(Order of the Court was made by the Hon'ble Chief Justice) This petition is as frivolous as it could be. It appears that the police station was housed in the building belonging to the petitioner and now it is being shifted to another location.
2. The grounds on which shifting the location of the police station is sought are not tenable in law.
This is a frivolous petition and therefore, dismissed with costs of Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees one lakh only) payable to the Tamil Nadu Legal Services Authority, Chennai, within one month. (MANINDRA MOHAN SHRIVASTAVA, CJ.) (G.ARUL MURUGAN, J.) 22.01.2026 Index : Yes/No : Yes/No sra
