Breaking News | Thirupparankundram Case Verdict | Madras High Court | Jan 6, 2026

In a significant judgment delivered on Tuesday (Jan 6), the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court upheld the order directing the lighting of the Karthigai Deepam at the ancient stone pillar ('Deepathoon') atop the Thirupparankundram hills.

🔥 Key Highlights of the Verdict: The Division Bench, comprising Justice G. Jayachandran and Justice K.K. Ramakrishnan, dismissed the appeals filed by the State Government, the Dargah, and the Waqf Board.

🗣️ "Imaginary Ghost": The Court's Strong Observation In a sharp rebuke to the State authorities, the Court termed the government's fear of law and order issues as an "imaginary ghost created by state authorities" to pit communities against each other. The Bench stated it was "ridiculous" to believe that lighting a lamp would disturb public peace unless sponsored by the State itself.
