The Supreme Court on Friday stayed the demolition of a temple allegedly constructed without valid permission in Tamil Nadu’s Madurai.

A Bench of Justices Ujjal Bhuyan and Manmohan sought the response of the civic body on a plea of the residents through their body, Visthara Welfare Association in Madurai, challenging the Madras High Court order directing the temple's demolition.

“The high court has directed the demolition of the temple. Issue notice, returnable in eight weeks. In the meanwhile, the demolition of the temple shall remain stayed,” the Bench ordered.
