Supreme Court to Hear Tamil Nadu Government's Plea on Thirupparankundram Lamp Lighting
The Supreme Court agreed to hear the Tamil Nadu government's plea challenging the Madras High Court's order permitting the lighting of a ceremonial lamp on the Thirupparankundram hill during a festival. While issuing notices to petitioners, the Supreme Court refused to stay the High Court's ruling and adjourned the matter. The state government, led by Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, raised concerns about tradition, law and order, and communal harmony. The case is scheduled for comprehensive hearing after responses are filed.
