Tamil Nadu minister criticized for defying court order on festival; court allows symbolic prayer pending government reply.
The Madras High Court criticized Tamil Nadu Minister S Reghupathy for remarks it deemed disrespectful to judicial authority, alleging he suggested blocking the Thiruparankundram Karthigai Deepam festival despite a prior court order permitting it.
The court expressed concern over public defiance of legal rulings, noting the minister’s comments could undermine public trust.
It recommended allowing five court-designated individuals to perform a 15-minute symbolic prayer at the site, pending government response by March 4, while reserving the right to reopen the matter.
The decision follows a disputed prohibitory order and emphasizes adherence to judicial decisions over political statements.
