The Madras High Court has requested its amici curiae, in forest related cases, to inspect the site where Marudhamalai Subramaniaswamy Temple administration had decided to install a 184-feet tall statue of Lord Murugan at the Boluvampatti Forest Range in the Western Ghats.

A special Division Bench of Justices N. Sathish Kumar and D. Bharatha Chakravarthy, constituted to hear cases related to forests and wildlife, wanted the amici curiae T. Mohan, Chevanan Mohan, Rahul Balaji and M. Santhanaraman to visit the spot and file their report by January 23, 2026.
