Madras HC sets aside Tamil Nadu-wide ban on temples acquiring elephants
- The Madras High Court set aside a state-wide ban on temples acquiring elephants in a judgment on 2 September.
- The court said the restriction was wrongly issued in a case that concerned only one elephant, Lalitha.
- It ruled the original order affected parties like the Tiruchendur temple, who were never given a chance to be heard.
- All directions specifically concerning Lalitha's care, treatment, and retirement at 60 remain in place.
