The Madras High Court stays a church construction project planned near a temple in Coimbatore. In its order, the court considers arguments about the location of the proposed church and whether any “bad intentions” can be ruled out if the construction proceeds close to a place of worship. The court also records a submission by the petitioner that after a change in government led by Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay, posters have appeared in some parts of Tamil Nadu calling for the construction of churches in every village. The case centers on the proximity of the planned church to the existing temple and the petitioner’s concerns about the implications of proceeding with the project. The court’s stay indicates that it is not allowing construction to continue while the matter is examined. The order also reflects the court’s decision to consider the petitioner’s claim about alleged promotional materials and their timing following the change in government. The report does not provide details on the respondents’ position or the next procedural step, but the stay remains in effect pending further consideration by the court.
