According to high court Judge SM Subramaniam, failing to use the property granted to the temple for its intended purpose is a sin against the deity. In 1960, a guy named Shadran leased and traded the land of the coimbatore Mahaliamman temple. In 2016, he filed a complaint in the high court against the temple management for increasing the rent to Rs 17,200. Judge SM Subramaniam presided over the case. The temple management notified the petitioner at the time that he owed Rs 1.44 lakh in rent arrears.

The Judge later said, "The petitioner can now be regarded the occupier because the lease issued in 1960 is set to expire in five years. His wish was not able to be fulfilled. As a result, the petition is dismissed. Within three months, the temple management can investigate him and take action. The rent of the temple property has not been properly assessed not only in this case but also in a number of other cases involving the Treasury Department. Illegal acts are being carried out by officials and trustees.

Many people have given their property and earnings to places of worship with the noble goal of using them to serve the temple and its adherents. It is a transgression against the deity to not use them for their intended function. Officials from the Trust Department should be made aware that people who engage in such illicit actions should face consequences."
