This writ petition has been filed for issuance of a Writ of Mandamus to direct the respondent police to give police protection and permission to conduct the cultural programme at Uthangarai Taluk, Arulmigu Sree Murugan Temple Festival, by considering the petitioner's representation dated 30.03.2017.
2. It is the grievance of the petitioner that he has submitted a representation dated 30.03.2017 to the respondent, seeking permission to conduct Cultural Programme at Uthangarai Taluk, Krishnagiri District on 09.04.2017, in the event of Keel Ettipatti Arulmigu Sree Murugan Temple Festival. However, the respondent has denied permission to conduct the cultural programme. Hence this writ petition.
3. Though the petitioner sought for permission to conduct “cultural programme”, learned counsel for the petitioner restricted the same to the extent of conducting Orchestra, for which, the learned Government Advocate appearing for the respondent has raised no serious objection.
4. In view of the submission so made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, the respondent is directed to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 30.03.2017 and grant permission to the petitioner to conduct Orchestra at Uthangarai Taluk, Arulmigu Sree Murugan Temple Festival, subject to usual conditions. It is made clear that this Court has not granted any direction to conduct “Adal Padal Nigazhchi / dance programme” in the name of “cultural programme”.
5. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs.
