'Two-Judge Order Overruled?' DMK MP Defends TN Govt After HC Rebuke
DMK MP Dr. Kalanidhi Veeraswamy defended the Tamil Nadu government after the Madras High Court slammed authorities for failing to light the Karthigai Deepam lamp despite multiple court orders. He argued that a legal conflict exists between a 2017 two-judge bench order and the latest single-judge order, creating a "legal conundrum." Veeraswamy also said that lighting the lamp at a new location-one not used for decades-has triggered local tensions, and claimed local authorities are better placed to assess the ground situation.
