Justice G.R. Swaminathan bars policy petitions
Some landlords who rented space to these shops tried to fight the closure in court, saying it broke existing rules.

Additional Advocate General T. Gowthaman, representing TASMAC, said the petitioners' deposits made before leasing out their properties would be refunded.
