Case against relegating Tamil Thai Vazhthu to third place during T.N. CM Vijay’s swearing-in ceremony withdrawn

The Madras High Court on Friday (June 5, 2026) permitted a litigant to withdraw her case seeking a direction to the Union Home Ministry and the Tamil Nadu government to condemn the relegation of the Tamil Thai Vazhthu to the third place, after the playing of the national song and the national anthem, during Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay’s swearing-in ceremony in Chennai on May 10, 2026 . The First Division Bench of Chief Justice Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari and Justice G. Arul Murugan dismissed as withdrawn the public interest litigation (PIL) petition filed by Ananya Radhakrishnan, 45, of Chennai. They, however, granted her liberty to file a fresh case with better particulars, if so advised.
