Supreme Court Rejects Tamil Nadu Plea on Tiruparankundram Deepam

The Supreme Court has rejected a plea filed by the Tamil Nadu government seeking an interim stay on a Madras High Court order regarding the lighting of a 'Deepam' on the Tiruparankundram hill. The state government had requested the court to halt the implementation of the High Court's directive. The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court had previously issued an order permitting the lighting of a lamp on a pillar located on the Tiruparankundram hill. The Supreme Court dismissed the state government's petition challenging this specific ruling.
