Mere Apprehension cannot be a ground for rejection, says HC

The High Court of Judicature at Madras on 23 April 2019 has permitted the petitioner to conduct cultural programme in the event of Hanumantheertham Village Sri Mariamman Temple Festival at Hanumantheertham post, Uthangarai Taluk, Krishnagir District, on 26.04.2019 between 6.00 p.m. and  10.00 p.m.

The permission is granted with a view that  mere apprehension (of a law and order problem, in the event of the permission being granted) cannot be a ground to reject the representation.

Further to this, the court has  given clear directions as to the conduct of the programme.
No obscene dance or vulgar dialogues
No playing of Double meaning songs
No playing of dance or songs, touching upon any political party or religion or community or caste
No flex boards in support of any political party or communal leader
Not to affect either religious or communal harmony and no discrimination based on caste.
Stick to timings and conditions
"If there is violation of any one of the conditions imposed, the concerned police officer is at liberty to take necessary action, as per law and stop such performance forthwith", the court has warned.
