High Court steps in to prevent installation of images of divisive figures.
Observing that there have been incidents inwhich damage has been caused to the statutes of national leaders, resulting in friction as well as law and order situation in different places… the full court resolved not to permit erection of any more statues on court campuses.
Similarly, on April 27, 2013, the full court directed the Kancheepuram principal district judge to persuade the Alandur Court Lawyers Association to remove the portrait of Ambedkar and rejected the request of Cuddalore Bar to display his picture in the newly-constituted special courts, the circular said.
“Very recently, on April 11 the full court considered a similar request and reiterated all the earlier resolutions and unanimously resolved that except the statues and portraits of Gandhi and Thiruvalluvar, no other portraits and pictures shall be displayed anywhere inside the court premises,” the circular added.
The registrar-general directed that in case of any deviation, action shall be taken by giving suitable complaint to the Bar Council of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry.
