6.The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that the petitioner would abide by all the above said 23 conditions.
7.In addition to the above, today, the petitioner has come forward with an additional affidavit stating that no film songs or obscene songs would be played or any dance would be conducted based on such songs. It is also submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that such 'Aadal Paadal" programme will be based on various cultural activities of this Country and also to project the values of great epics like Mahabharatham, Ramayanam and other stories based on puranas. The additional affidavit of the petitioner and the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner are recorded. 8.In view of the above, the third respondent Police is directed to give necessary permission, by imposing the above said conditions to enable the petitioner to conduct the programme on 2.1.2015. The petitioner is directed to observe the above conditions, strictly, during the programme.
9.It is brought to the attention of this Court by the learned Special Government Pleader that even after obtaining conditional orders from this Court, songs and dances pertaining to movies are performed in the name of Cultural Programme. I am of the view that if the programme can be videographed and shown before this Court, it would be helpful for the Court to initiate appropriate proceedings, including contempt proceedings, as it would amount to violation of the orders of this Court. Any one can videograph the Adal Padal and if police does not take any action against the persons, who violates the conditions, based on the videograph, action can also be initiated against the erring persons and police personnel who are deputed to prevent atrocities.
10.The Writ Petition is disposed of with the above directions. No costs.
