Court stops music academy from giving TM Krishna an award named after MS Subbulakshmi, citing her will.

The Madras High Court has stopped the Madras Music Academy from giving TM Krishna the MS Subbulakshmi Sangita Kalanidhi Award, following a petition by Subbulakshmi's grandson, V Srinivasan. The court ruled that using Subbulakshmi's name for the award goes against her will, which stated no memorials or foundations should be created in her name. While Krishna can still receive the Kalanidhi title, the award cannot bear Subbulakshmi's name.
