Chennai: A recent judgement of a division bench of the Madras High Court against religious intolerance has turned into a major topic of discussion among the legal and religious circles. The court made some crucial observations while hearing a petition over the conduct of a temple procession by people of V Kalathur in Perambalur district. There are four temples in the locality – Lakshmi Narayana Perumal Temple Selliamman Temple Rayappa Temple and Maariyamman Temple in which three days festival is said to be conducted every year. It is said that a Muslim organisation had opposed carrying out the temple processions through a particular route. It is said that in 2015 the district administration requested to reduce the three days festival to two days which was accepted by the festival committee..
