‘The woman has made out a case to consider her representation favourably’
The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Tuesday directed the State government to consider the representation made by a woman from Kadavur in Karur district who had sought a direction to authorities to allow her daughter to use the first letter of her name as the initial.
Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy directed the Director of School Education and Assistant Director of Government Examinations to consider the representation made by the petitioner, M. Pothumponnu. The court took note of the fact that a government order issued earlier had allowed the use of the first letter of the mother’s name as the child’s initial.
