TN ordered to maintain status quo on removal of flagpoles of parties
To ensure that an opportunity of hearing is provided to all political parties, communal and religious associations etc., before taking a final decision on the matter, the full bench therefore directed the chief secretary of TN to issue a public notification enabling the political parties, communal parties or associations etc., to file impleading petitions to get impleaded in the appeal.
The notification should be published in two English and two Tamil dailies that have wide circulation across the state, on or before July 25, the judges added. The impleading petitions should be filed on or before August 5, they further said, and adjourned the matter to August 6.
After Prasad expressed fear that existing flagpoles may be removed in the meantime to implement the single judge's order, the judges ordered the government to maintain status quo until further orders.
