Madras High Court has said in a 2021 order, "Merely because one religious group is dominating in a particular locality, it cannot be a ground to prohibit celebrating religious festivals or taking processions of other religious groups through those roads."
Court also allowed the Hindu outfit, Indu Makkal Katchi- Tamizhagam (IMKT), to hold its State conference in the Cuddalore district of Tamil Nadu on January 29.
The Madras HC observed that the temples should be preserved with the primary focus being on how they have traditionally operated because they have played a significant part in the development of society and civilisation
The High Court also stated that whether a person who has converted to another religion is eligible for community reservation is a matter before the Supreme Court. As a result, it will not be appropriate for the High Court to decide on the matter.
