Talk:Madurai
Any idea if the Madurai bench is a circuit bench or a permanent bench? -- Sundar (talk · contribs) 06:35, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)
- As far as my knowledge goes, it's a permanent bench. Refer to http://www.tn.gov.in/policynotes/admn_of_justice.htm. But I'm still not sure of the number of districts under Madurai jurisdiction.. 12, 14 or 16? ~elviajero (talk · contribs)
Per this it is 12. Also, the jurisdiction question is interesting. Because, by virtue of being benches of the high court both the Chennai bench and Madurai bench must have jurisdiction all over Tamil nadu. But, the registry will take care that the cases from these regions alone are posted to the Madurai bench. So, perhaps an emergency case may be taken up by either bench. -- Sundar (talk · contribs) 04:44, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
Wow! I didn't know De Morgan (remember De Morgan's theorems?!) was born in Madurai. Many thanks to whoever added this piece of info!! ~elviajero (talk · contribs)
I've removed a couple of names from the list of notable people born in Madurai. I've also removed external links to two Telugu pages and Sourashtra college since I don't think they are relevant to this topic.
It's mentioned that Sourashtrians make up for about 20-30% of Madurai's population. I think they do, but in the absence of any official figures to substantiate this claim, it's best to say that they maintain a significant presence in the city and not give any numbers. Do let me know if you disagree. ~elviajero (talk · contribs), Jul 8, 2005
