Orders
The High Court of Madras dismissed the writ petition as withdrawn. Petitioner Ms. Ananya Radhakrishnan sought a mandamus to condemn the relegation of Tamil Thaai Vaazhthu (Tamil Nadu's state song) to third position during the Chief Minister's swearing-in ceremony on 10/05/2026, claiming no constitutional or statutory prohibition existed against commencing state functions with the state song. However, the petitioner's counsel sought withdrawal with liberty to file a fresh petition with proper particulars, which the court permitted without costs. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
