Accordingly, permissions have already been granted and the said statues are to be relocated in the “Leaders Park”." the High Court had said. Instead of making concrete efforts for the formation of “Leaders Park”, the Government cannot issue orders granting permission to instal statues in public places. On account of heavy traffic congestion and other mitigating factors, the general public are put to hardship in the event of granting such permission to erect statues in public places. Notably, in 2022, the Madras High Court had also stayed the erection of a Karunanidhi statute in Thiruvannamalai in "Girivalam" part near Arunachaleshwara Temple.
