Thirupparankundram row: Supreme Court agrees to hear T.N. government plea, but gives the State no interim relief
The Bench queried whether there was a prevailing tradition of lighting the lamp on the pillar; the State said there were no historical records of lighting the lamp on the stone pillar.
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a petition filed by the Tamil Nadu government challenging orders from the Madras High Court regarding the lighting of a lamp at a stone pillar near a dargah on the Thirupparankundram hill. The case was presented by the State, represented by senior advocate Jaideep Gupta, who argued that the High Court has established a new tradition and there are no historical records of lighting the lamp at the stone pillar.
The Bench, headed by Justice Aravind Kumar, refused to grant any interim relief and directed the respondents to file their affidavits within six weeks. The case was listed for comprehensive hearing in eight weeks. The previous DMK regime in the State was unable to convince the court about the potential disturbance caused by the lighting of the lamp, which the High Court deemed as "ridiculous and hard to believe" as causing public disturbance.
