LIVE Report: Madras High Court Allows Lighting Of Lamp On Deepathoon | Karthigai Deepam Row
In a major relief to Hindu devotees, the Madras High Court on Tuesday upheld the right to light the Karthigai Deepam at the Deepathoon stone pillar atop the sacred Thiruparankundram hillock, rejecting fears of law and order issues and strongly pulling up the state and temple authorities for their objection.
Pronouncing the verdict, a Division Bench of Justices G. Jayachandran and K. K. Ramakrishnan said the practice of lighting the Deepam at an elevated place is meant for all Hindu devotees to witness and found no plausible reason for the temple management to deny the request.
The court termed as “ridiculous and hard to believe” the state’s apprehension that lighting the lamp on temple land would disturb public peace. It also criticised the “mischievous submission” that the stone pillar belonged to a dargah, observing that such claims only deepen mistrust between communities.
