The Supreme Court directed Tamil Nadu to create rules for a transit corridor for fishing vessels.

The court's ruling on fishing access

The Supreme Court has ordered the Tamil Nadu government to create rules for a 'specified channel' for fishing vessels to transit through the state's territorial waters to reach the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The ruling came from a division bench of Justices P.S. Narasimha and Alok Aradhe, according to a report by the Hindu.

Tamil Nadu had argued that fishers might illegally use purse seine nets within its 12-nautical-mile territorial waters while claiming to be headed further out. The state said this would be hard to regulate. The fishers countered that the state was using its 2020 Rules to stop them from even carrying their nets to the EEZ, which is beyond state control.

The court concluded that fishing is governed by two laws: the state's Tamil Nadu Marine Fishing Regulation Rules of 2020 for its own waters, and the central government's Sustainable Harnessing of Fisheries in the Exclusive Economic Zone Rules of 2025 for the EEZ. It upheld both sets of rules and said rights would be governed by them.

Documents seized in money-lending raids

In a separate, unrelated event, authorities in Maharashtra's Latur district conducted searches at 13 locations targeting alleged illegal money-lending, as reported by Hindustan Times. The operation was prompted by a rise in complaints during drought-like conditions, officials said.

Documents including cash books, account books, blank cheques, stamp papers, and property deeds were seized. Officials stated further investigation is underway and action will be taken under the Maharashtra Money-Lending Act if violations are found.

The district collector said the administration is meeting with banks to ensure farmers get loans, hoping this will stop them from turning to private lenders.
