The above Writ Petition in WP (MD) No. 12987 of 2026 came up for hearing before the Hon’ble Bench comprising Hon’ble Mr. Justice Satish Kumar and Hon’ble Mr. Justice Jyothi Raman. The Hon’ble Judges were pleased to adjourn the matter, directing the respondents to file an appropriate response on 16.06.2026. The petitioner-in-person, Mr. C. Selvakumar, Advocate, appeared and argued the matter. The gist of the case is that, just as a statue of Manu Needhi Cholan has been installed in the Principal Seat of this Hon’ble High Court, it is prayed that a statue of the great Pandya King Nedunchezhiyan, who stood as a symbol of justice, accountability, and unwavering adherence to righteousness, be installed at the Madurai Bench. Further, it is also sought that a statue of Kannagi, who exemplified that even a common person can question injustice and assert her rights, be installed. The installation of such statues in the Madurai Bench would serve as an inspiration and guiding example to the general public, litigants, and students of law, and would also stand as a testament to and proclamation of the rich cultural and historical heritage of the Tamil people to the world
