flag Court approves peaceful hunger strike to revive Karthigai Deepam lighting in Tamil Nadu.

flag The Madras High Court’s Madurai Bench approved a peaceful hunger strike on December 13, 2025, at Thiruparankundram, Tamil Nadu, allowing up to 50 people to fast from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. to demand the lighting of the Karthigai Deepam on the Deepathoon hill. flag The court, led by Justice S. Srimathy, upheld the right to peaceful protest, rejecting police objections and quashing prior rejections. flag The event must include only mantras, one microphone, no slogans or political statements, and be fully videographed. flag The ruling aims to revive a tradition halted in 1926, following a prior court directive that remains unimplemented.
