|August 24, 2025
THE Madurai Bench of Madras High Court recently directed the state government to scrupulously follow the guidelines prescribed in the government order (G.O.), dated January 6, 2022, including regulations for operating sand quarries and selling sand in government depots.
A bench of justices S M Subramaniam and G Arul Murugan said authorities concerned are bound to follow the above guidelines, and added that quarry operations must be transparent and free of irregularities, especially in maintaining digital records. The bench gave the direction on a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) petition filed by Salem East District Sand and M-Sand Lorry Owners Welfare Association president L Karthick in 2024.
