|December 05, 2025
If the officers are allowed to defy court's orders in this fashion, it will lead to anarchy, says Justice GR Swaminathan; upholds earlier order allowing petitioner to light Deepam atop hill
THE Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Thursday quashed the prohibitory order promulgated by the Madurai district collector under Section 163 BNSS (Sec 144 of CrPC) in Thiruparankundram on Wednesday, and directed the Madurai city police commissioner J Loganathan to ensure full protection to the petitioners and their associates to light Karthigai Deepam on the Deepathoon atop the hill as directed.
Justice GR Swaminathan passed the order on Thursday evening, a few hours after a division bench comprising justices G Jayachandran and KK Ramakrishnan upheld his order dated December 3, directing Rama Ravikumar, who filed a contempt petition, to light the Deepam on the Deepathoon with CISF protection.
