Israeli attacks leave at least 20 dead in Gaza

This report covers the Madras High Court’s decision to allow the lighting of the Deepam atop the Tiruparankundram Hill Shrine in Madurai. The Madurai Bench rejected the state government’s petition to block the ritual, which the DMK administration had opposed citing law and order concerns near a Dargah. The court emphasized the devotees’ right to perform the ritual on Devasthanam land, stating, ‘Let there be light, not fight.’ The bench further criticized the government, asserting that peace is only breached when state-sponsored and warned against pursuing political goals through such restrictions. While the court labelled the Waqf Board’s claim on the land as mischievous, the DMK government has confirmed it will challenge the verdict in the Supreme Court. The ruling follows an earlier single-judge decision by Justice G.R. Swaminathan. The opposition has hailed the verdict as a victory against the misuse of power, while the issue remains a significant flashpoint ahead of the upcoming assembly polls in Tamil Nadu.
