Justice K Govindarajan Thilakavadi allowed the Minister's petition and directed the Registry to complete the numbering of the case and list the matter for hearing.

The TVK minister, elected from Karaikudi constituency, alleged that YouTuber Maridhas has been spreading false and baseless corruption allegations against him on his YouTube channel and sharing them on his X handle, intending to defame him.

Therefore, he filed a petition before the Madras High Court seeking permission to initiate a suit against Maridhas, claiming Rs 1 crore as damages for defamation.

The damages have been claimed for loss of reputation, emotional distress, mental agony, and violation of the petitioner's dignity and privacy.

Built by the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) for Rs 2.5 crore, the modern facility brings relief to commuters, drivers, and conductors who endured years of neglected infrastructure.

Spanning 16,000 square feet along Ennore High Road, the new terminus features dedicated waiting areas, a crew rest room for drivers and conductors, a nursing and lactation room, and modern restrooms for men, women, and persons with disabilities. Currently, 12 buses operate 122 daily trips from the terminus, serving approximately 18,000 residents in the surrounding areas.

Expressing gratitude for opening the facility, Tondiarpet zone chairman Nethaji U Ganesan also urged transport authorities to restore the previously suspended routes. “If the Transport Minister can revive 32 bus services connecting this location to key hubs, including Koyambedu, Thiruvanmiyur, Adyar, Tambaram, Anna Square, and Vadapalani, it would benefit thousands of commuters across 32 localities, including Nedunchezhian Nagar, Nethaji Nagar, and Rajasekaran Nagar.”

GCC Commissioner GS Sameeran, Metropolitan Transport Corporation Managing Director, VP Jeyaseelan, Regional Deputy Commissioner (North), Swetha Suman and other senior government officials participated.

Before the inauguration, in August, DT Next had reported on the challenges faced by the transport staff and passengers. They were forced to seek shelter under tree branches during scorching summers and heavy rains. The lack of basic facilities was a persistent issue for crew members.

“Without restrooms, staff had to relieve themselves behind bushes,” a driver had recalled. “And, turning buses near the railway tracks was so difficult that after 6 pm that we would park along the main road. It caused traffic jams, but we had no choice.”

A division bench comprising Chief Justice SA Dharmadhikari and Justice G Arul Murugan questioned how the court could interfere in an issue that requires a change in election laws by the Parliament.

Advocate K Suthan of Saidapet had filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) before the Madras High Court, seeking a stay on the bypolls to the Madurantakam and Dharapuram Assembly constituencies.

In his petition, Suthan contended that a statutory restriction should be considered to prevent the person from contesting elections to the Parliament or a State Legislative Assembly for the next five years when an elected representative resigns shortly after an election for personal or political reasons.

He submitted that public money is spent on conducting elections and that its economical and responsible use is a matter of public interest. He also argued that the electorate's mandate cannot be treated as a personal political asset that can be abandoned shortly after an election without considering the consequences for voters and the public exchequer.

The petitioner contended that TVK candidates Maragatham Kumaravel and Sathyabama should not be allowed to contest, as they resigned for political reasons and are causing additional public expenditure.

The court questioned whether it could bring in a legal amendment in the absence of any law to recover election expenses from MLAs who resign or bar them from contesting elections. The judges observed that the court did not have the legislative power to enact such a law, as only Parliament could do so, and that the court could only examine whether such a law was valid.

During the hearing, the petitioner's senior counsel, R Singaravelan, submitted that if an MLA resigns and stays at home, no questions would be raised. However, when they resign to contest elections again, the Election Commission should frame rules taking this into consideration.

Election Commission of India counsel Niranajan Rajagopalan submitted that after declaring election results, the Commission has no role to play and that the petition was not maintainable. He also submitted that there was no provision to recover by-election expenses from MLAs who have resigned.

The judges further observed that the court could not direct the government to enact a law, order the recovery of previous election expenses from MLAs contesting again, or bar them from contesting elections for a specified period. Thereafter, the bench reserved its orders.

Upon receiving information that Customs Havildars working at the airport were allegedly assisting passengers in bringing gold from foreign countries and taking it out of the airport, a special team of DRI officials in Chennai began monitoring passengers arriving on international flights, during the night and early morning hours.

The incident happened in the first week of September when a Sri Lankan Airlines flight arrived from Dubai via Sri Lanka. Two Sri Lankan passengers from the flight declared that they were not carrying any Customs duty goods and attempted to leave the airport through Green channel.

However, officials stopped them on suspicion and conducted a search of their belongings. As nothing suspicious was found in their luggage, they were handed over to two Customs Havildars, Karthik and Arun, for further examination. They had instructed the Havildars to take the duo to the airport’s X-ray department for a complete examination.

The Havildars took them to the X-ray department but, instead of subjecting them to a fresh X-ray exam, the Havildars returned with two previously prepared X-ray result copies indicating that no suspicious material had been detected inside the duo’s bodies. They presented the reports to the Customs officials and claimed that the passengers were not carrying smuggled gold.

The DRI special team, which had been monitoring all this from a distance, immediately intervened. They took the duo and the Havildars to the X-ray examination room, and conducted fresh X-ray examinations of the passengers. The X-ray reports revealed that gold bars had been concealed inside the rectums of both passengers.

Following that, the DRI officials arrested the two passengers, two Havildars and two employees of the airport’s X-ray department. They also recovered and seized the gold bars concealed inside the bodies of the two passengers. A total of 2.6 kg of gold valued at around Rs 4 crore (international market value) was recovered.

Following the seizure, officials took the accused to the DRI office in Chennai, where they underwent several hours of interrogation. The suspects were produced before the Alandur court and remanded in judicial custody at Puzhal Central Prison.

The DRI are investigating to find the others who are involved in the gold smuggling operation, and also find out how long the suspects had been carrying out the smuggling activities.

The formal proclamation was held on the church premises amid the presence of senior Catholic clergy, priests, members of the religious hierarchy, and devotees.

The ceremony began at 5.30 pm with a procession of archbishops and priests, followed by a special concelebrated Mass. Monsignor Andrea Francia, Chargé d'Affaires of the Apostolic Nunciature in India, formally announced the elevation of the shrine into a basilica.

The decree recognising the shrine as a basilica was read out in Tamil, English, and Latin. Special prayers for Our Lady and collective prayers for world peace were also held during the Mass.

As the proclamation was made, devotees gathered at the church expressed their joy by chanting praises to Mary.

Archbishop George Antonysamy of the Archdiocese of Madras-Mylapore, former Archbishop AM Chinnappa, Catholic Bishops Conference of India Deputy Secretary General Fr Stephen Alathara, and Basilica of Our Lady of Velankanni rector Fr Arulappa were among those present. Several archbishops and priests from across Tamil Nadu also attended.

Speaker JCD Prabhakar and Minister N Marie Wilson were among the leaders who participated in the ceremony.

With the Besant Nagar shrine being elevated, Chennai now has three basilicas. The other two are the San Thome Basilica and the St Thomas Mount Basilica.

Electricity supply remains suspended for a few hours in affected areas and is restored once the maintenance process is completed. Stay with DT Next for updates on affected localities and timings related to scheduled power shutdowns across Chennai.

The initiative was launched in the presence of P Pakalavan, Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic–South), Chennai. The bikes have been deployed across the hospital's Alwarpet, Vadapalani, Radial Road and Maa Kauvery facilities.

Operated by trained medical responders, the bikes carry automated external defibrillators (AEDs), oxygen support and emergency medical kits. Responders will assess patients and provide appropriate first-response care while coordinating with the hospital and ambulance teams.

The bikes are not intended for patient transport. Conventional ambulances will be coordinated for further management and transportation, when required.

"In an emergency, reaching the patient is the first challenge, and in a city like Chennai, traffic can sometimes make that challenge even greater," said Dr Manivannan Selvaraj, founder and managing director, Kauvery Group of Hospitals.

The First Responders are equipped with 5G connectivity, webcams and GPS/live tracking, allowing responders to remain connected with hospital teams and coordinate care in real time.

"Emergency care is not only about how quickly we reach a patient, but also about what happens in those first few minutes," said Dr Aravindan Selvaraj, co-founder and executive director, Kauvery Group of Hospitals.

Milk agents said the shortage has also been reported in Coimbatore, Tiruchy, Madurai, Salem and Erode.

Why is there a shortage of Aavin milk?

Aavin milk sales have declined significantly over the last six months, with milk agents claiming that sales have fallen by 10 to 15 per cent. Agents said the shortage has occurred because Aavin has not increased its milk procurement.

Due to the shortage, the number of Aavin milk boxes supplied to outlets has also been reduced. As a result, milk packets are reportedly getting sold out quickly at several locations in Chennai during the morning.

How are consumers being affected?

Consumers are finding it difficult to purchase Aavin milk in the required quantity. Families that depend on Aavin milk are reportedly being forced to buy private milk packets at higher prices.

Small grocery shops are also selling green Aavin milk packets at an additional Rs 2, charging Rs 24 for half-a-litre packet.

The Parivahan 2.0 – Global Hyperloop Summit, held at IIT-M’s Discovery satellite campus on September 19, saw TuTr Hyperloop and Larsen and Toubro (L&T) sign an agreement, marking an important step towards greater industry participation in developing hyperloop-related technologies.

Addressing the summit virtually, Union Minister for Ports, Shipping, and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal said hyperloop could connect ports with logistics parks, warehouses, industrial clusters, and inland freight terminals, enabling faster and more efficient cargo movement.

Sonowal described the progress of TuTr Hyperloop's Linear Induction Motor technology demonstrator at Deendayal Port, followed by Maglev technology, as a historic step in taking the technology from the laboratory to the port and towards commercialisation.

He said India should move beyond technology demonstration and work towards a full-scale cargo hyperloop system as part of its future logistics network.

IIT-M director V Kamakoti said hyperloop had been a major interdisciplinary initiative at the institute, involving several departments. Stressing the need to demonstrate indigenous technology on real platforms, he called for hyperloop clubs across IITs and skill-development courses on structures, levitation, and propulsion through SWAYAM and SWAYAM Plus.

The summit examined hyperloop applications in freight movement, port-to-hinterland connectivity, and logistics, besides the technological, infrastructure, regulatory, and commercial requirements for developing an ecosystem around the technology.

IIT-M faculty advisor Satya Chakravarthy said the third Global Hyperloop Competition in 2027 would be integrated with Shaastra, the institute's annual technical festival.

Deendayal Port Authority chairman Sushil Kumar Singh said the competition would bring students, researchers, innovators, startups, and industry together to explore the possibilities and viability of hyperloop-based transportation solutions.

Technical sessions covered linear induction motors and magnetic levitation, while panel discussions focused on government, industry, and academia collaboration to advance hyperloop technology.

The deceased was identified as Sangeetha Arul Lal (35) of Jawahar Nagar in Chennai.

According to police, Sangeetha and her friend, who is also from Tamil Nadu, were travelling on a two-wheeler when the landslide occurred at Velathucheri near Teekoy.

Landslide incident in Kottayam

The two were reportedly returning from Vagamon, a popular tourist destination in the district, when soil from the hillside slid onto the road. Sangeetha was trapped beneath the debris, while her friend escaped with injuries.

On noticing the incident, local residents rushed to the spot and began clearing the soil in an attempt to rescue the trapped woman. Sangeetha was eventually pulled out and taken to a nearby hospital. However, doctors declared her dead on arrival, police said.

Her injured friend was also taken to the hospital for treatment. Police said her condition was stable and that her family members had been informed about the incident.

Minor landslides

Meanwhile, minor landslides were reported from several locations in the hilly areas of Kottayam district following heavy rains.

A house was damaged in another landslide at Mangalagiri near Teekoy. Officials were monitoring the situation in the affected areas amid continued rainfall.

House damage due to landslide

In a separate incident, a house was damaged by a landslide in the Peringulam area under the Poonjar Thekkekara panchayat.

Police said one person went missing in the incident, while two others were rescued.

A search operation has been launched to trace the missing person, officials said. Rescue teams and local authorities are continuing to monitor landslide-prone areas in the district.

The development comes days after US healthcare and pharmacy major Walgreens signed an MoU to establish its first India GCC in Chennai, underlining the growing interest of American companies in the State's technology and business-services ecosystem. Walgreens' proposed centre is expected to create more than 250 jobs in its first year.

An MoU for Starbucks's proposed GCC was signed with Guidance TN, the State government's investment promotion agency, in the presence of Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay at the Secretariat here on Monday.

The Starbucks centre will be the company's first GCC in India and will operate independently of its retail business partnership with Tata Consumer Products in the country, the State government said.

Tamil Nadu is currently home to more than 465 GCCs, according to recent industry reports, with Chennai emerging as a major hub. The State has also recently announced a GCC corridor and development programme aimed at attracting and scaling the next generation of such centres.

Starbucks Chief Technology Officer Anand Varadarajan said India was considered a very important country for the company and that Chennai had a large pool of skilled technology professionals.

He said the availability of skilled talent, lower attrition, strong infrastructure and incentives offered by the Tamil Nadu government would help the company develop new solutions and expand its business.

Vijay said it was a matter of great happiness that Starbucks had chosen Chennai for its global capability centre, adding that the decision reflected the confidence placed by a globally recognised company in Tamil Nadu and the capabilities of its youth.

He said the investment would create new employment opportunities for skilled young people and reinforce Tamil Nadu's credentials as a destination for high-end companies.

Chennai-Tiruchy IndiGo flight cancelled

The IndiGo flight scheduled to depart from Chennai’s domestic airport at 9.30 am and reach Tiruchy at 10.40 am was cancelled on Monday.

Tiruchy-Chennai flight also cancelled

Similarly, the IndiGo flight scheduled to depart from Tiruchy at 11 am and arrive in Chennai at 12.10 pm was also cancelled. Passengers who had booked tickets on the two flights were informed about the cancellation and their bookings were shifted to other flights.

Low passenger demand cited as reason

According to airport sources, the two flights were cancelled due to administrative reasons as there were not enough passengers for the services. The cancellations on Monday, the first working day of the week, caused inconvenience to passengers who had planned to travel between Chennai and Tiruchy for various official purposes.

According to reports, one litre of petrol is being sold at Rs 107.77, while diesel costs Rs 99.55 per litre in Chennai on Monday.

On May 25, petrol was raised by Rs 2.61 a litre and diesel by Rs 2.71. The increase took cumulative hikes since May 15 to nearly Rs 7.5 per litre.

Until May, fuel prices had largely remained unchanged since April 2022, except for a Rs 2 per litre reduction announced in March 2024 ahead of the national elections.

Why have fuel prices been increased?

Global crude oil prices had surged more than 50 per cent since late February following US-Israeli strikes on Iran and disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil transit route.

State-run retailers had delayed passing on higher input costs for weeks, a move the government said was intended to shield consumers from inflation. Opposition parties, however, accused the administration of holding back price increases until after key state elections.

The May 15 increase came after the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) expanded its electoral footprint by winning three of five state and UT elections, including West Bengal.

Retail fuel prices were first raised by Rs 3 per litre on May 15, followed by a 90-paise increase on May 19 and another hike on May 23, when petrol prices rose by 87 paise and diesel by 91 paise per litre.

On May 25, petrol was raised by Rs 2.61 a litre and diesel by Rs 2.71. The cumulative increase since May 15 stands at nearly Rs 7.5 per litre.

The increase varies across cities due to differences in local taxes.

Petrol rates (per litre) in Chennai across last 5 days:

September 20 - Rs 107.77

September 19 - Rs 107.77

September 18 - Rs 107.77

Viswanathan assured that the government would take steps to safeguard students' health. After inaugurating an exhibition on higher education opportunities in South Korea, the minister told reporters that he had visited the Anna University campus after the student's death and that the medical report did not confirm that the student died of dengue. He said the medical report did not confirm that the student had died of dengue.

Viswanathan further said he had sought the student's death report to ascertain the cause and asked universities to ensure a safe and hygienic environment for students.

The minister said that the student's death was a loss and measures need to be taken to prevent such incidents. He also noted that he had directed the university to undertake cleaning and sanitation work on the campus.

The minister's appeal comes after a final-year student died of scrub typhus.

On the private university bill, Viswanathan said it had been sent to the President for approval. He assured that universities would not be privatised and that fee-related issues could be discussed after the approval.

The public noticed a man with severe injuries and alerted the police, who moved him to a hospital. The man was identified as V Vignesh (25) alias Vicky of Sirukalathur and was declared brought dead. His body was moved to the Chengalpattu Government Hospital for autopsy, and a probe into his death began.

Initial investigation revealed he was last seen with his friends. According to the police, the accused, Prabhu (32) of Kovur and Sarathi (23) of Kolapakkam, had called Vignesh to join them for a drink, and the trio had gathered at a plot near a temple.

While drinking, an argument began when Prabhu asked Vignesh to return the money he had borrowed. Vignesh allegedly hurled verbal abuses at Prabhu, after which he and Sarathi ganged up on him.

They pinned Vignesh to the ground and repeatedly assaulted him with stones, leading to his death. The duo then fled the scene.

On Sunday, a police team arrested Prabhu and Sarathi. They were produced before a magistrate and remanded in judicial custody.

Raj (58), the official, was found with burn injuries at his residence in Lake Area in Nungambakkam on Saturday night. The police registered a case of suspicious death. Later, the probe revealed that his wife had set him on fire.

Police sources said that Nungambakkam police personnel who questioned his family members became suspicious of the deceased's wife, Selvarani, as she gave contradictory answers.

Preliminary inquiries revealed that she had an accomplice, identified as Deva, who is absconding. The police are questioning Selvarani to establish the motive for the murder.

Raji was booked under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act in July 2025 based on a statement from an eight-year-old girl. His family had then alleged that the child’s family had used her to file a false complaint against the SI over an ongoing family dispute.

In all, 289 workers and 53 fogging machines were deployed, and 581 kg of unwanted materials were removed to prevent mosquito breeding.

GCC Commissioner GS Sameeran inspected operations at Victoria Hostel in Chepauk, and instructed officials to clear debris, remove stagnant water, and maintain campus hygiene. The prevention activities were carried out in institutions, including Anna University, IIT Madras, Victoria Hostel, Presidency College, and Madras University, which have recorded a higher concentration of cases due to large student populations living on campus.

"Chennai recorded 4,400 fever cases in August and 4,600 this month, with dengue-positive cases standing at around 654. Approximately 95 per cent of dengue cases are self-limiting, with patients recovering at home through rest and hydration, while only the remaining 5 per cent require hospitalisation," Sameeran said.

The number of Domestic Breeding Checkers have been increased to 3,290 workers from 2,500. Each worker inspects 80 to 100 homes every day, identifying and treating mosquito larvae hotspots. Pamphlets are being distributed to students, hospital visitors, households, and construction sites. To enforce compliance, the GCC levied Rs 5,56,000 in fines over the last 20 days, primarily targeting non-compliant commercial establishments and repeat residential violators where mosquito larvae hotspots are found.

Around 100 health camps are being organised daily, benefiting over 4,000 people over the past 20 days. A specialised medical camp at Anna University recorded 378 beneficiaries on Sunday. Plans are also under way to distribute Nilavembu Kashayam (Nilavembu Kudineer) in the campus.

Following the death of a student at Anna University due to scrub typhus, a rare bacterial infection transmitted by tick bites in dense vegetation, the GCC has ordered the clearing and sanitisation of overgrown bushes across campuses.

Sameeran emphasised that public cooperation and individual campus hygiene remain crucial to keeping vector-borne diseases under control.

At Hyatt Regency Chennai, the team is recreating the feel of a German beer garden with German-inspired food and drinks. Chef Sradhanjali says the menu brings together several specialities, with sausages taking centre stage. “The cuisine is German and all the specialities from Germany will be there. One of the specials is the sausages. In the buffet, there will be a variety of sausages, including Nuremberg, chicken bratwurst and pork bratwurst. We will also have ham, meatloaf, pretzels and the famous potato salad,” she says.

Chef Manish Uniyal says the idea is to capture the atmosphere of an Oktoberfest beer garden, where beer and food go hand in hand. “The whole ambience is about a beer garden. In Germany, during Oktoberfest, you have beer gardens where beer maids carry large mugs of beer and serve them with bite-sized food and sausages. Sausages also have different characteristics. Some are smoked, some are cured, while others have herbs or different flavourings,” he says.

One of the highlight dishes on the menu is Sauerbraten, a German roast traditionally made with marinated beef. “It is an actual German dish and, in a way, Germany’s answer to Italian pasta. We also want to make Chennai familiar with German food through this event,” says Manish. Jazz music will also be part of the experience.

Over at Taj Coromandel, Oktoberfest celebrations at Chipstead bring flavours of Bavaria to the table. Area Culinary Director - South and Executive Chef Vikas Milhoutra has put together a menu featuring dishes such as Gurken Salat, a crisp cucumber and gherkin salad with a light vinaigrette, and Wurstsalat, made with chicken sausage, gherkins and red onions.

“Fleischpflanzerl, featuring crumb-fried pork patties, is another offering, while Currywurst brings together sliced chicken bratwurst with a rich ketchup-curry sauce. Our dessert menu includes Apfel-Streusel Kuchen, an apple crumble cake served with vanilla sauce, and Kaesekuchen, a creamy German-style cheesecake,” Vikas shares.

Meanwhile, The Spotted Deer at The Palomar by Crossway is bringing back its Oktoberfest celebrations until October 4. Titled ‘Beer, Bites, Bavarian Vibes’, the festival combines German-inspired food with German beers, signature cocktails and mocktails. The menu includes Chicken Schnitzel, Oktoberfest Brisket Sando and Cottage Cheese Steak, alongside Bavarian-style bites designed to pair with the drinks.

With each venue putting its own spin on the festival, Oktoberfest in Chennai is as much about exploring German food as it is about the beer.

While the bench of Justice Nagarathna is telling the Tamil Nadu government to accept Navodaya Schools in Tamil Nadu, help procure land in each district, and accept Hindi as a third language, another bench of Justice Joymalya Bagchi is telling the CBSE to have three languages for Std VI next year, explaining that pushing the load on them will be difficult. How can two benches of the same court speak in different directions simultaneously?

Having a two-language policy has been the policy decision of successive state governments over the last six decades, and the court cannot push its ideas of what is good onto the government. Education is in the Concurrent List, and the state can decide what is good for it. Since under Article 1 India is a Union of States, sovereignty vests in the states also.

Many did not think of children's welfare while introducing Navodaya Schools, which offer residential education from classes 6 to 12. That means, at a young age, the child will be away from parents, which, at that impressionable age, is not good. From 12 to 18 years, the best place for a child is to be kept with parents. The judge, while advocating Hindi as a third language, did not consider the very idea of splitting the child from the family. The Minister has correctly asserted that it was a suggestion from the court and not a judgment, and the government will not give up its stance on its entry into Tamil Nadu.

Three-monthly power bill is illegal; aggrievese consumers can approach High Court

Electricity meter assessors in Madhavaram only visit homes bi-monthly to read meters and post bills. However, due to chronic short-staffing, there is currently an unexplained three-month delay. This lackadaisical approach comes at a dear cost to consumers, as delayed readings cause unit consumption to accumulate, pushing households into higher tariff slabs and resulting in arbitrarily inflated, fat bills. Despite large-scale community complaints, officials remain inaccessible, and the promised transition to smart meters remains only on paper. As a legal expert, could you please advise whether there is a regulatory provision to demand a pro-rata recalculation of bills so consumers aren't penalised for Tangedco’s administrative delays? Also, what statutory compensation can be claimed for failure to meet billing timelines under TNERC codes, and can one approach the Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum (CGRF) to enforce accountability?

-- Girija Devi, Madhavaram, Chennai

While electricity consumers are demanding a monthly bill, Tangedco is giving bi-monthly bills, thereby making consumers pay more beyond the free supply limit. Giving a three-monthly bill is a clearly illegal action. Aggrieved persons can move the High Court for redressing their grievances. The jurisdiction of the consumer court at times may be doubtful because an element of free supply is involved.

The pipeline project is being implemented to supply drinking water from Chembarambakkam Lake to Moulivakkam, Paraniputhur, Chinnakulathancheri and EVP Park Avenue. Four major water storage tanks are also being constructed as part of the project.

Residents lamented that roads dug up for laying the pipelines had not been restored, leaving potholes at several places. “During rains, water accumulates in the potholes, making it difficult for everyone, including pedestrians and motorists, particularly two-wheeler riders, to navigate the roads. A large number of people use RR Nagar 6th Street every day. Authorities should complete the pending works and restore the road at the earliest,” said Rajasekar, a resident.

Another resident, Priya, said the entire road was filled with potholes and vehicles splashed stagnant water on pedestrians. “During rainy days, it becomes more difficult to identify the potholes as they remain covered with water. School students, elderly people and two-wheeler riders are particularly affected,” she fumed.

A Metro Water official told DT Next that around 70% of the drinking water pipeline works in Iyyappanthangal had been completed and the remaining 30% was in progress. “Water storage tanks are being constructed at 4 locations. Work on the tanks at 3 locations has been completed, while construction at EVP Park Avenue is scheduled to begin next week,” the official added. “The project will take another 3-4 months to be completed. After that, it would be handed over to the District Rural Development Agency (DRDA).”

According to college data, there are more than 5,000 students at the institution but there are only 5 toilets on campus for students – 2 for men and 3 for women.

Men say their toilets are always in disrepair and have called for dedicated staff to clean and maintain them. Women, meanwhile, pointed out that the sanitary napkin dispenser has not been working for over a year.

Students report that several toilet doors have been completely broken for months. Also, female students pointed out the lack of dustbins, forcing them to throw sanitary napkins inside the toilet, resulting in clogging.

A male student of the Tamil Department alleged that, out of two, only one toilet is used by male students on the entire campus. “The sewage water overflows from the toilet near the Physics department. And the door of the two toilets is completely broken; students do not defecate and prefer other places and public toilets,” said a student.

Also, a male toilet near the Chemistry department is completely unusable, with no lights, and has become a home for illegal activities. “After class hours, students use the toilet for illegal activities. Both Western and Indian toilets are encrusted with deep grime, discolouration, and lack of regular cleaning and flushing. The foul odour, stagnant water, and severe grime pose significant health risks and vector-borne diseases,” lamented another student in the Chemistry department.

A female student in the Psychology department alleged, “Proper maintenance and cleaning are required for the female toilet near the department. As my class is located nearby, the foul odour is unbearable. We can’t even listen to our classes. Most of us in the second shift don’t even use the toilet. We control ourselves all day and go to the hostel. Many of us don’t drink water because of this.”

The sanitary napkin vending machines remain non-operational. Without dustbins, students have the only option to throw them in the toilets, another student added.

A recent assessment by the Directorate of Collegiate Education (DCE) has exposed major infrastructure gaps in all 181 government arts and science colleges in TN, with inadequate toilet facilities.

Vice-Principal OR Devanathan told DT Next, “The cleaning activities are happening in all the toilets. Though we repair the equipment, students continue to break them. However, the issues regarding the poor sanitation will be addressed immediately.”

The court directed the insurance company and the concerned parties to pay the compensation to the family of P Padmavathi, who worked as a security guard at a private institution in Kattankulathur.

The accident happened on May 25, 2023, when the car was proceeding from Thanjavur towards Chennai on the GST Road. Near the Maraimalai Nagar municipality office in Chengalpattu district, the vehicle hit Padmavathi who was crossing the road, killing her on the spot. Tambaram city police sources had said Irfan was in the car when the accident happened.

According to some news reports, the driver did not stop the vehicle despite the accident, and was later traced and arrested. Tambaram City Police's traffic investigation wing registered a case under Section 304 (A) (death caused due to negligent driving) of IPC and arrested Irfan’s driver Azharuddin.

The compensation case was subsequently heard by the Chennai court. After hearing the case, the court ordered that Rs 30.69 lakh be paid as compensation to Padmavathi's family.

Irfan, who gained popularity with his YouTube Channel, Irfan’s View, had gotten married on May 14, only two weeks prior to the accident, reports had said.

The TN State Transport Corporation bus, on route number 82 between Chengalpattu and Tiruvallur, was riding along the Sriperumbudur-Oragadam highway.

When it was near Oragadam, the driver lost control and collided with the private bus, which was taking a turn at a curve. More than 26 passengers were injured in the accident.

Oragadam police reached the spot and shifted the injured to a hospitals.

The woman who suffered 50% burns is under treatment at the Government Kilpauk Medical College Hospital (KMCH). The arrested person was identified as M Babulal.

Police said that he was earlier a murder suspect but was cleared of the charges a few years ago.

Probe revealed that he was in a relationship with a woman, who lived in Srinivasapuram in Korukkupet with her husband and kids.

Police said the victim’s husband, 43, who works in the film industry, had rented out part of his house to a woman named Seema.

According to complaint, when tenant’s son Deepak, 24, allegeedly harassed his wife, Balamurugan confronted him. Deepak and his brother Rahul, 22, then allegedly assaulted him.

Balamurugan suffered injuries and was rushed to Stanley GH.

Founded by childhood friends Arun Bharadwaj and Murali Ravikumar, the space brings together sport, food and the seaside, with the founders positioning Scor’D as a place to play and Brew’D as a place to pause.

“Brew’D is a space to pause and Scor’D is a space to play. Together, it’s the perfect blend of daily urban lifestyle,” the founders said. The cafe’s proximity to the sea plays an important role in that idea, with the ocean, sea breeze and sound of the waves shaping its unhurried atmosphere.

The menu follows the same global-meets-local approach, drawing from Europe, Korea and the Mediterranean while adding a Chennai touch.

Chennai-style shakshuka, not Caesar salad, crispy oyster mushrooms, loaded fries, bao wow, and flaky phyllo appear alongside speciality coffee, matcha, and fruit juices. The Elaneer Affogato, 2026 Cold Coffee, and Cold-Brewed Kashmiri Kahwa are among the drinks on offer.

“Today’s cafe customer is well-versed in global cuisine and trends from the Internet. So we wanted to create a contemporary menu that also reflects Chennai, especially the fact that we are by the beach and next to a sports arena,” the founders said.

The founders’ backgrounds also feed into the larger concept, with Arun bringing his hospitality experience from Miththam, while Murali brings his association with sport and marketing.

The duo said their shared vision was to create a space that works as a break from the pace of city life. “We grew up by the sea all our lives. We spend most of our time on or by the beach. So when we decided to come up with the space, we knew that it had to be here,” they concluded.

The restaurant, which has been in Porur for nearly a decade, was originally conceived for the neighbourhood’s growing tech corridor. According to CEO and owner Paul Perumal, the idea was to offer food that could work equally well for team meetings and family meals.

“During that time, there was nothing like what we were bringing to the table. We wanted to bring a unique concept with bold flavours so they can enjoy team

meetings and also choose to come as a family as well,” he says.

The new space expands the menu beyond Chinese offerings, bringing in Burmese, Thai, Japanese and Malaysian influences. Paul says the expansion came from observing Chennai’s growing interest in international food. “Everyone’s ate has grown, and we want to bring that to our brand without the hefty price tag of eating at a five-star hotel. Keeping it fresh and authentic is our primary goal.”

The menu also has plenty for non-vegetarian diners, with options such as chicken dim sum, chilli chicken, Thai chicken curry, chicken ramen and Malaysian-style chicken noodles, alongside seafood preparations.

Chef Rajkumar, who helms the kitchen, begins to explain as the dishes arrive at the table. We opted for the vegetarian spread during our meal. The meal began with the lemon coriander soup, made with fresh coriander, lemon juice, vegetables and mild seasoning. It has a bright, citrusy freshness, with the coriander adding a pleasant herbal aroma.

The sweet chilli lotus stem, however, is the standout. Fresh lotus stem is lightly coated and fried until golden and crunchy before being tossed in a sweet, mildly spicy chilli sauce and finished with sesame seeds and fresh garnishes. The crisp lotus stem, sweet-heat balance and spring onions make it particularly moreish. The shoyu vegetable ramen arrives as a big bowl of comfort, with hot noodles in a rich, savoury and mildly salty broth, balanced by assorted vegetables. The edamame miso butter, meanwhile, brings together edamame beans with a rich miso butter sauce, with the miso lending umami and the butter a smooth finish. Then comes the Khau suey, a Burmese favourite with a creamy, mildly spicy and aromatic coconut base. What makes the bowl especially enjoyable is the assortment of accompaniments - crispy fried garlic, onion, coriander, chilli and lemon - allowing the flavours to be adjusted to taste. It is a must-try for those who enjoy a layered bowl with contrasting textures.

The Thai green curry with steamed rice has a hint of sweetness while remaining rich and textured. Another star of the meal is the veggie Thai noodles, packed with vegetables and carrying a well-balanced amount of salt and seasoning. The charcoal Malaysian noodles are a smoky alternative, with flat noodles tossed over high heat with vegetables, aromatic spices and Asian seasoning. If smoky flavours are your thing, this one stands out. Tub Tim Grob is a Thai dessert made with water chestnuts coated in tapioca starch and cooked until soft and translucent, served in sweet coconut milk. Even after a filling meal, its comforting coconut flavour makes room for a few more bites.

For Paul, the expanded menu is also part of a larger journey. “We have great plans on the horizon for this brand and will soon be taking this global, with talks on the way for the UAE and US,” he says.

According to reports, one litre of petrol is being sold at Rs 107.77, while diesel costs Rs 99.55 per litre in Chennai on Sunday.

On May 25, petrol was raised by Rs 2.61 a litre and diesel by Rs 2.71. The increase took cumulative hikes since May 15 to nearly Rs 7.5 per litre.

Until May, fuel prices had largely remained unchanged since April 2022, except for a Rs 2 per litre reduction announced in March 2024 ahead of the national elections.

Why have fuel prices been increased?

Global crude oil prices had surged more than 50 per cent since late February following US-Israeli strikes on Iran and disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil transit route.

State-run retailers had delayed passing on higher input costs for weeks, a move the government said was intended to shield consumers from inflation. Opposition parties, however, accused the administration of holding back price increases until after key state elections.

The May 15 increase came after the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) expanded its electoral footprint by winning three of five state and UT elections, including West Bengal.

Retail fuel prices were first raised by Rs 3 per litre on May 15, followed by a 90-paise increase on May 19 and another hike on May 23, when petrol prices rose by 87 paise and diesel by 91 paise per litre.

On May 25, petrol was raised by Rs 2.61 a litre and diesel by Rs 2.71. The cumulative increase since May 15 stands at nearly Rs 7.5 per litre.

The increase varies across cities due to differences in local taxes.

The arrested person was identified as Sheik Abdullah. Abdullah was among five persons arrested and remanded in connection with the murder of Pandiyamani under the Tiruvottiyur police limits in 2007. After securing bail, he stopped appearing before the magistrate for trial, leading to a non-bailable warrant (NBW) being issued against him in 2010.

During a recent review of pending cases, top police officials directed personnel to execute long-pending warrants, after which the SCS team was assigned the case.

Since traditional investigative methods and questioning in his former neighbourhood in Tiruvottiyur yielded no results, the police team turned to technology. Using a 2007 photograph of the suspect, they applied an AI-enabled age progression tool to enhance and predict his present-day appearance. The police then circulated these updated images through their network to trace and secure Abdullah.

Probes revealed that Abdullah had frequently shifted residences after jumping bail, worked at a private company, and got married. He was eventually traced to the Tirumullaivoyal area, where officers secured him on September 15. He was handed over to the Tiruvottiyur police and produced before the court, which remanded him in judicial custody.

Balraj Second Street, St Thomas Street, Rajeswari Street and Ambedkar Main Road in Santhosh Nagar have residential buildings, hostels and small-scale businesses. Motorists, especially at night, face difficulty as the potholes are not clearly visible.

A resident, Gunasekaran, said, “Road restoration works were carried out before the elections. Now, the road was dug up again for replacing the underground sewage pipeline. This damaged the surface of the road. Dust pollution has increased and gets worse every time vehicles pass through the road. It’s particularly difficult for anyone using the road at night.”

Another resident, Anand, said, “It’s very difficult for vehicles to pass through this road. At times, vehicles skid and leads to injured riders. When it rains, water accumulates in the potholes, making it difficult for motorists to see while travelling night.”

A senior Corporation official told DT Next that underground sewage pipeline replacement works had been completed in Santosh Nagar, Balraj Nagar and surrounding areas.

“Of the 79 roads in the area, 27 have so far been handed over by the Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB) to the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) for restoration. Works are under way on 12 of these roads, while the remaining roads will be taken up in phases,” he explained.

Concrete would first be laid over the portions where the roads were cut for the pipeline works, followed by relaying of the tar surface. Restoration works on all the roads are expected to be completed by September 30.

Kokila, a resident of Pallikaranai, had adorned the small idol with the chain during Vinayagar Chaturthi prayers at her home.

On Friday (September 18) morning, she placed it alongside a larger street idol. Hours later, she realised she had forgotten to remove the jewellery, but returned to find the spot cleared.

She immediately lodged a police complaint. During questioning, Balaraman, who managed the street idol, stated that the small idols were taken for immersion while their garlands were dumped in a nearby garbage bin.

Police searched the bin, recovered the necklace from the discarded flowers, and handed it back to Kokila.

The police have designated four immersion sites: Foreshore Estate, Neelangarai, Kasimedu fishing harbour, and Tiruvottiyur.

Over 100 idols were immersed on Saturday, with the rest set for Sunday.

Temporary control rooms and assistance centres will operate at the venues, where cranes and boats will be deployed to lower idols into the sea.

All-terrain vehicles, fire tenders, ambulances, trained swimmers, and watchtowers will ensure public safety.

Chennai Police Commissioner A Amalraj and senior officers reviewed arrangements at the immersion points. Police warned that organisers violating conditions or disturbing public peace will face legal action.

In a representation to the Divisional Railway Manager, Chennai Division, resident Raghavendra Bhat Kadekar has listed out 11 demands of which the demand for a fourth platform remains an essential one.

“It will help workers travelling to Kakkalur SIDCO Industrial Estate and commuters travelling between Tiruvallur and Chennai,” he said. “Earlier, fast locals used to stop at Putlur, which was convenient for people travelling to Chennai for work. Now, as the trains run on the fast line, they pass through without stopping.”

Commuters said that the lift sanction happened almost three years ago, yet it has not been installed. The representation also seeks additional shelters on platforms 2 and 3, roof cover for the old foot overbridge, CCTV monitoring from Tiruvallur RPF instead of Annanur, public announcement and train display systems, and a subway on the western side.

“Drinking water taps and toilets are available,” said a SR official while agreeing that it was not well maintained. The Railways also noted that the public announcement system was serviceable and would be revamped soon, while the demand for a western-side subway would require an inspection and feasibility assessment based on soil conditions and passenger footfall.

Sriperumbudur was upgraded to a municipality in February 2025. This move raised expectations among residents that the town would receive better roads, improved sanitation, drainage facilities and other civic infrastructure.

However, residents say that more than a year and a half later, there has been no improvement in several residential areas.

They also pointed out that taxes have increased after the civic upgrade, while several amenities remain inadequate.

This is particularly noticeable as Sriperumbudur has emerged as an important industrial hub, with several industrial estates and factories located in and around the town.

The growing industrial activity has brought more workers, vehicles and commercial activity to the region, increasing pressure on the existing civic infrastructure.

“Our area is growing rapidly in terms of industrial development and other activities. But when it comes to civic infrastructure, Sriperumbudur still lags behind,” said Sundar, a resident of Sriperumbudur. “There has been no significant development in basic amenities even after the town was upgraded to a municipality.”

Sriperumbudur is also a historic town known for the Ramanujar temple, and the memorial of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi is located here. The municipality covers 19.39 sq km and has 15 wards, with more than 1 lakh people living in the area.

“One of the major concerns raised by residents is the shortage of cleanliness workers,” S Abishek, a resident. “Around 180 workers are required for sanitation-related work in the municipality, but there are fewer than 80 now. This shortage has resulted in garbage accumulating at several locations.”

Poor drainage is another major concern. Several residential streets do not have proper sewage and drainage facilities, resulting in wastewater overflowing onto roads. Residents fumed that stagnant wastewater and foul smells have become a regular problem in some neighbourhoods.

“Industries are growing rapidly, and the town is developing economically, but residential areas should also receive the same attention. People living here need proper roads, drainage and sanitation facilities,” said Karthiga, a resident.

A vegetable, fruit and flower market complex constructed at Sivathangal at a cost of around Rs 3 crore has remained unused for more than a year

The condition of several roads has also drawn criticism. Residents said that roads damaged during infrastructure works have not been properly restored, leaving potholes and uneven stretches that cause inconvenience to motorists and pedestrians.

The underground drainage project has added to the concerns. “Several roads dug up for the project have not been properly restored and alleged that the work is progressing slowly,” said a resident.

The Sriperumbudur bus stand is another facility residents want improved. They claim the bus stand is poorly maintained and does not have adequate space for buses, leading to congestion. Passengers also face inadequate drinking water, toilet and lighting facilities.

Residents have also pointed out the absence of proper street name boards in several areas. They said that the lack of signboards makes it difficult for visitors, delivery personnel and people from outside the town to locate residential streets.

“There aren’t enough public parks, recreational spaces or even spaces for children to play and senior citizens and others to walk. The existing parks are also allegedly not maintained properly,” said Ramanathan, a resident. “Even though the population is increasing and the town is expanding, there are very few proper recreational spaces for residents. The municipality should create and maintain more parks.”

Meanwhile, a vegetable, fruit and flower market complex constructed at Sivathangal at a cost of around Rs 3 crore has remained unused for more than a year. Residents have urged the authorities to open the facility and make it available for public use.

Residents said the municipality needs to plan its infrastructure based on the town’s rapid industrial and population growth rather than addressing civic problems only after they become serious.

“When Sriperumbudur was a town panchayat, we paid lower taxes and still had better facilities. After it was upgraded to a municipality, taxes have increased, but basic amenities have not improved. In some areas, even the facilities that were available earlier are now lacking. The municipality should provide infrastructure according to its new status,” said Elangovan, a resident of Sriperumbudur.

When contacted, municipal officials said that improvements had already begun as part of the first phase at an estimated cost of around Rs 5 crore. “After completion of the first phase, additional funds will be allocated for further road works. The Sriperumbudur bus stand is expected to undergo comprehensive modernisation soon,” the official added.

Regarding the shortage of sanitation workers, officials explained that a request had been submitted to the Director of Municipal Administration to increase the workforce and that additional workers were expected to be appointed soon. Priority was being given to the underground drainage and drinking water projects.

Regarding the market complex, the facility had not yet been opened as traders had shown little interest in taking the shops on lease, delaying its operation.

Located along the highway, the village has seen repeated appeals to the Kancheepuram district administration and the Department of Geology and Mining to regulate the units, with residents alleging severe disruption to their daily lives.

According to the protesters, rock blasting takes place at the quarries almost every day around 4 pm. The explosions cause loud sounds and heavy vibrations that damage houses and endanger livestock in nearby residential areas.

Residents also highlighted that excessive quarrying has generated thick dust in the surroundings and depleted local mineral resources. Adding to their plight, heavy trucks carrying quarry materials operate round-the-clock at high speeds, posing a severe threat to safety, particularly to children.

Villagers said they have submitted numerous petitions to government officials over the past 10 years. However, despite repeated assurances that action would be taken, no permanent solution has materialised.

Following the protest, which led to long queues of stranded vehicles on both sides of the highway, the Sriperumbudur Tahsildar, revenue officials, and police arrived at the spot to negotiate.

Traffic was eventually restored after officials assured the protesters that their grievances would be formally conveyed to the district administration and the mining department for prompt action.

Tamil Nadu's electric autorickshaw market has been expanding, with more than 16,000 e-autos among the 5.52 lakh electric vehicles registered in the State till 2025-26. Yet, for drivers considering a switch, the choice is not simply about saving money on fuel.

The State's complete motor tax waiver for EVs, extended till December 2027, has removed one financial burden. However, drivers say several major hurdles persist.

A conventional autorickshaw costs around Rs 3 lakh, while an electric variant ranges between Rs 3.5 lakh and Rs 5 lakh. An e-auto priced around Rs 3.5 lakh reportedly offers a range of 120 km, but drivers say they need a vehicle capable of covering at least 170 km daily for practical work.

"Every month, when we discuss the adoption of e-autos, the high cost emerges as the main barrier," said Mohana Sundhari of Veera Pengal Munnetra Sangam, India's first union for women auto drivers. "Even with the State incentive of Rs 1 lakh, women struggle to raise the remaining Rs 2 lakh. The price of an e-auto wipes out the thought of buying one," she added.

However, drivers acknowledge the running cost advantages. "I have been driving an e-auto for a year now. So far, I have not spent a single rupee on maintenance," said owner-driver Rajkumar.

A conventional auto driver spends around Rs 500 daily on petrol or CNG while earning Rs 2,000, leaving Rs 1,500 in hand. An electric auto can be fully charged for Rs 100 to Rs 150. "Instead of spending Rs 500 on fuel to earn Rs 2,000, charging an EV once is enough. Saving Rs 300 a day translates to Rs 9,000 a month," Rajkumar explained.

S Balasubramaniam, coordinator of the All Autorickshaw Trade Union Federation, agrees on the operational savings. However, with conventional autos in use for decades, existing owners selling their vehicles to buy electric ones do not see immediate financial logic.

Charging infrastructure remains the biggest concern. Recharging an e-auto takes nearly eight hours, and the crisis is compounded by housing arrangements, as many drivers live in rented accommodations where landlords disallow vehicle charging.

"At the last minute, I dropped the idea of buying one because my house owner refused to allow charging. He already charges Rs 10 per unit," said Kamalesh, an auto driver.

Union representatives stress that public charging networks are severely lacking. "There are no designated places for charging," said Sundhari. Balasubramaniam added that public charging facilities are absent in key areas where drivers actually need them.

The repair ecosystem is another concern. Mechanics trained to handle electric autos are scarce. Though breakdown instances are few, complete dependence on authorised service centres threatens high repair costs. "If the government provides a 50% subsidy, many drivers will come forward to switch to EVs," Sundhari noted.

For Chennai's drivers, the decision extends beyond environmental benefits or lower fuel bills. They require vehicles that deliver sufficient daily mileage, accessible charging options in rented homes, and clear assurances on battery life.

The initiative forms part of a broader Rs 300 crore project announced by the Municipal Administration and Water Supply (MAWS) department during the recent assembly session, covering a distance of 360 km across the city.

Speaking to DT Next, GCC Commissioner GS Sameeran said detailed estimates have been prepared for the stretches. "As a first phase, roads worth Rs 150 crore will commence, and priority will be given to BRR roads, which will be taken up before the monsoon or during the dry spell between the northeast monsoons. The sanctions are expected by the first week of October," he said.

According to MAWS officials, the objective is to build durable roads without rushing the laying process, which often results in poor quality. Full-fledged works will resume after the monsoon. "GCC has to use the pre-monsoon period to complete the base work so that tenders can be floated and quality works can begin immediately after the monsoon," an official explained.

Civic body sources revealed that GCC has submitted a zone-wise list of damaged roads to Tamil Nadu Urban Finance and Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd (TUFIDCO), where a state quality monitoring team is currently conducting appraisals.

Once the appraisal process concludes, tenders will be floated and finalised. Bituminous material prices have been fixed through Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), and around 800 damaged roads are likely to be resurfaced.

Meanwhile, residents in North Chennai have urged the civic body to expedite the works. TK Shanmugam, president of the Federation of North Chennai Residents’ Welfare Association (FNCRWA), pointed out that main and interior roads in Madhavaram and Manali are in worse condition. Highlighting Muthamil Nagar and Kadumbadi Amman Koil Street in Kodungaiyur, he noted that the battered stretches pose risks to two-wheeler riders and will deteriorate further during the monsoon.

However, financial bottlenecks threaten execution speed. R Rama Rao, president of the GCC Contractors' Association, explained that GCC already owes over Rs 2,500 crore to contractors, forcing many to depend on bank loans to carry out works. "Contractors are hesitant to take up fresh work with GCC due to this uncertainty. Because of pending payments, only a few contractors with strong financial backing can sustain their operations," he pointed out.

The bench of Justices, PT Asha and N Mala, observed that welfare must be understood in its widest sense, including moral and religious welfare along with physical well-being.

It noted that the Guardian and Wards Act, 1890, and the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956, regard the welfare of a minor as the paramount factor for courts to consider.

The court was hearing an appeal filed by the mother against the Family Court’s order rejecting her plea seeking custody of her two minor children.

The mother claimed that she had taken care of her husband and children but was sent out of the matrimonial home following a misunderstanding, while the children continued to remain with the father.

The father, however, alleged that the mother had illicit relationships and had no regard for the children.

He claimed that her WhatsApp chats showed that she had sent nude and semi-nude photos to other men and made late-night video calls, and argued that she was unfit to be given custody of the children.

He, however, said that she was free to meet the children at a common place.

After hearing the petition, the court found merit in the father’s argument and took note of the pendrive and cellphone produced by him before the Family Court, which contained nude and semi-nude photos of the mother.

It also noted that the mother had admitted in her evidence that she had conversations with several men.

“All these allegations point to a person with low moral fibre, whose company would be detrimental to the welfare and well-being of the two minor children who are at an impressionable age,” the court observed.

Therefore, it held that the Family Court had rightly rejected her custody plea after considering the overall well-being of the children. Finding no reason to interfere with the order, the High Court dismissed the appeal.
