The Madras High Court warned Madurai district officials it may initiate contempt proceedings for failing to follow court orders on Karthigai Deepam lighting at Thiruparankundram hill. “Unforgivable! Unless They Apologize in Writing,” said Justice GR Swaminathan.
Justice GR Swaminathan questioned Senior Advocate Vikas Singh over reported remarks suggesting the judge had political ambitions during the Thiruparankundram lamp-lighting contempt hearing. The Madras High Court also sought an explanation from the State Chief Secretary over alleged non-compliance with court orders.
