The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court is currently presiding over a crucial hearing today concerning the long-standing Thirupparan Kundram Karthigai Deepam dispute. All appeals, both previously filed and anticipated, against an earlier verdict are being heard concurrently.
Given that both the Supreme Court and a Division Bench are already engaged with related issues, the contempt petition has been adjourned for the day.
In a significant development, the court has issued a directive to the Deputy Solicitor General of India. They are tasked with obtaining a comprehensive report from the CISF commandant, who was present with petitioners during the enforcement of a previous court order.
This pivotal hearing is expected to define the subsequent phase of the dispute surrounding the Karthigai Deepam festival. The legal proceedings today will therefore be instrumental in shaping the future observances of the Hindu festival.
