The new government in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu faces a legal challenge over its move away from purpose-built new premises that cost $200m to build.
Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa has opted to govern from the old British-built Fort St George in Madras (Chennai).
Critics say she is trying to spite her arch-rival Karunanidhi, who built the new complex but then lost at the polls.
Lawyers told the High Court that ditching the new assembly complex is a massive waste of money.
The court has told top government officials that it will deliberate on the matter at a later date.
So far, the new building has cost more than $200m to build. The final bill is expected to be much more. More...
