Tamil Nadu Files Supreme Court Review Petition Against Megamalai Eviction Order
Tamil Nadu's Law Minister R. Nirmalkumar announced the state government has filed a review petition in the Supreme Court against the eviction order affecting residents and farmers in the Megamalai region, Theni district. The petition follows a Supreme Court directive based on a Central team's study conducted between July 2025 and February 2026. The Minister attributed the current situation to inadequate handling by previous DMK and AIADMK governments, noting that earlier exemptions for deserving people might have prevented the evictions.
