• In proceedings Rc.No. 6291/99/B16/SVG, dated 27 May 2008, the Tamil Nadu Wakf Board ordered the management of Illayangudi Nesavu Pattadai Tholugai Medai Pallivasal, Illayangudi, Sivagangai District, to be placed under its direct control. The period was six months from the pronouncement of the Board's order dated 24 December 2008.
