The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court suggested that the Tamil Nadu government allow five persons named by the Court to offer symbolic prayers for 15 minutes near the Deepathoon atop Thiruparankundram hill. The Court clarified that the proposal is only a suggestion, not a direction, amid the Karthigai Deepam contempt proceedings.
The Supreme Court said public anger in high-profile cases is understandable but cannot control investigations or court decisions. Justice must be based on evidence and impartial inquiry, not media pressure or majority sentiment.
