The Hindu
Says case is in bad taste, restrains litigant from filing PILs for next five years
The Madras High Court, on Monday, dismissed a public interest litigation petition filed by an advocate to restrain Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin from chairing an Advisory Committee of Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) Department without taking a pledge that he professes Hindu faith as it is required to be undertaken by HR&CE employees. First Division Bench of Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee and Justice PD Audikesavalu refused to entertain the PIL petition right at the admission stage after terming it to be “utterly mischievous.” They also said that the case was in “extremely bad taste” and that a prejudice is involved in the prayer sought by the litigant.
