A special report examines the legal and political fallout from the Madras High Court’s ruling on the ‘Karthigai Deepam’ ceremony at Thiruparankundram hill in Madurai. A Division Bench of the court upheld an order permitting the lamp lighting, dismissing the M.K. Stalin-led DMK government’s objections that cited potential law and order issues. The court described the state’s apprehension of public disturbance as an "imaginary ghost." Following the verdict, the Tamil Nadu government announced its intention to appeal the decision in the Supreme Court. The ruling has become a political flashpoint, with the AIADMK and BJP accusing the DMK of divisive politics, while the DMK maintains it is following established customs to ensure peace. The court’s judgment included guidelines for conducting the ceremony under the supervision of the District Collector and in consultation with the Archaeological Survey of India.
