Supreme Court refuses urgent plea hearing over MS Subbulakshmi award to singer
India TodayThe Supreme Court, on Friday, declined to urgently hear a petition challenging the Madras High Court’s decision to allow Carnatic singer TM Krishna to receive an award named after the legendary vocalist MS Subbulakshmi. You can recall the award if needed.” TM Krishna was conferred with this year’s Sangita Kalanidhi Award by the academy, which made him automatically eligible for the MS Subbulakshmi Award, constituted by The Hindu Group. The plea was filed by V Srinivasan, Subbulakshmi’s grandson, who opposed conferring the Sangeeta Kalanidhi MS Subbulakshmi award on Krishna. On November 19, the Madras High Court restrained the Madras Music Academy from presenting the 'Sangita Kalanidhi MS Subbulakshmi Award’ to Krishna under its current name.
