It is also submitted that there is also a canal passing through nearby.2. We find that the learned Single Judge has passed a very detailed interim order, taking into consideration various submissions made before him. We also find that permission for dumping of municipal garbage is permitted only for a period of six months. The Page 7 of 10 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WA Nos.3869, 3884, 3988, 3989 of 2025order impugned also imposes conditions with regard to the manner it will be used. Timely inspection has also been ensured. The learned Single Judge has also ordered that Tiruppur Municipal Corporation shall commence the process for establishment of MCC and MRF in those locations immediately, clarifying that the present site is only temporary in nature and once it reaches the storing capacity threshold, it shall stop using the site. We also find that the learned Single Judge, by way of abundant caution, has also gone to the extent of ordering that the waste stored at Iduvai should be removed within a period of six months from 11.12.2025.3. We do not think protection more than that is needed to be granted while passing an interim order by the learned Single Judge.4. The scope of interference in an intra court appeal against an interim order is extremely narrow and limited to seeing whether the order is patently illegal and it would be in the interest of justice to interfere. Normally, interim orders passed by writ Court in exercise of discretionary jurisdiction are not required to be interfered with in an intra court appeal.Page 8 of 10 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WA Nos.3869, 3884, 3988, 3989 of 20255. The appeals are without any merits and are, therefore, dismissed. There will be no order as to costs. Consequently, CMP Nos.31693, 31616, 32386, 32384 of 2025 are closed.
