The petitioner claims to be one of the Committee Members of the Temple Festival Organizing Committee of the Temple, viz., Shri Pollachi Amman Temple, situate at Polur Town and Taluk, Tiruvannamalai District. He submitted a representation/application dated 01.06.2016 to the respondent, seeking permission to conduct a cultural program on 16.06.2016, in connection with the temple festival, which includes song and dance programme and since, he has not been favoured with any kind of response, came forward to file this writ petition.

Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, on instructions, would submit that in the event of permission being granted to conduct the song and dance programme, there will not be any law, order or communal problem and no https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

vulgarity or obscenity will be there and hence, prays for appropriate orders.

This Court heard the submissions of Mr.R.Govindasamy, learned Special Government Pleader, who accepts notice for the respondent.

The writ petition is disposed of, accordingly. No costs.
