ORDER

The prayer made in the writ petition is to issue a writ of Mandamus directing the respondent to grant permission and provide protection to conduct cultural programme in the event of Therkumedu Arulmigu Sree Selva Vinayagar and Sirenjevi Mariamman Temple Festival, Attur Taluk, Salem District scheduled to be held on 22.03.2017 by considering the petitioner's representation dated 06.03.2017.

2. It is the grievance of the petitioner that he has submitted a representation dated 06.03.2017 to the respondent, seeking permission to conduct Adal Padal Cultural programme in the event of Therkumedu Arulmigu Sree Selva Vinayagar and Sirenjevi Mariamman Temple Festival, Attur Taluk, Salem District, scheduled to be held on 22.03.2017. However, till date, no order has been passed by the respondent. Hence, this petition.

3. Though the petitioner sought for permission to conduct "Adal Padal cultural programme", learned counsel for the petitioner restricted the same to the extent of conducting Orchestra, for which, the learned Government Advocate appearing https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

for the respondent has raised no serious objection.

4. In view of the submission so made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, the respondent is directed to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 06.03.2017 and pass appropriate orders with regard to conduct Orchestra in the event of Therkumedu Arulmigu Sree Selva Vinayagar and Sirenjevi Mariamman Temple Festival, Attur Taluk, Salem District scheduled to be held on 22.03.2017, subject to usual conditions. It is made clear that this Court has not granted any direction to conduct "Adal Padal Nigazhchi / dance programme" in the name of "cultural programme".

5. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. -s/dAssistant Registrar True Copy Sub-Assistant Registrar rk To 1.The Inspector of Police, Thalaivasal Police Station, Thalaivasal, Salem District.
