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 Gramiya Nadana Naatiya Kalai Nigazhchi in the event of Kokkalai Arulmigu Sree Mariamman Temple Festival, at Tiruchengode Taluk, Namakkal District scheduled to be held on 22.03.2017 by considering the petitioner's representation dated 16.03.2017.
2. It is the grievance of the petitioner that he has submitted a representation dated 16.03.2017 to the respondent, seeking permission to conduct Gramiya Nadana Naatiya Kalai Nigazhchi in the event of Kokkalai Arulmigu Sree Mariamman Temple Festival 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 "Gramiya Nadana Naatiya Kalai Nigazhchi", learned counsel for the petitioner restricted the same to the extent of conducting Orchestra, for which, the learned Government Advocate appearing for the respondent has raised no serious objection. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
