Madras High Court Justice GR Swaminathan G.R. Swaminathan criticised Madurai authorities for failing to light the Karthigai Deepam atop Thiruparankundram Hillock despite clear court directions issued. He said he respects court orders unlike those officials, stressing accountability within the Madras High Court system today.
Film producer Boney Kapoor and daughters Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor have approached the Madras High Court over a civil dispute involving 4.7 acres of land purchased by late actress Sridevi in Chennai in 1988. The High Court has stayed proceedings in the lower court and will hear the Kapoor family’s plea on March 26.
Newly sworn-in Chief Justice of the Madras High Court, Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari, stressed the vital role of lawyers in delivering justice, remarking, “The Bench and the Bar are often described as two wheels of the same chariot… A judge is only as good as the assistance they receive from the Bar.”
