A division bench comprising Chief Justice Indira Banerjee and Justice J Nisha Banu issued this direction on a petition seeking to issue direction to the authorities to allow the ‘devotees’ of freedom fighter Pasumpon Muthuramalinga Thevar to travel in hired vehicles to participate in ‘Thevar Jayanthi’, marking the 110th birth anniversary and the 55th guru puja of Muthuramalinga, which falls on October 30. The participants were allowed to travel in hired vehicle till recent past, said the petitioner adding, because some individuals had been involved in adverse incidents during the ‘Jayanthi’, the police had banned hiring of vehicles and imposed various restrictions. He also said that hired vehicles were not allowed only from 50-km surrounding from the event venue and the district administration has also arranged buses for the people from various points.
