HC: Cops delaying temple fete permits will bear full cost

Chennai: Rapping police for delaying grant of permission to temple festivals, Madras high court has warned that it would be constrained to order the investigation officer concerned to bear the full expenses of such temple festivals. "Devotees collecting meagre contributions for temple festivals should not be burdened with the cost of approaching courts because of the police's failure to ensure proper protection. In future, if people are made to run from pillar to post to get appropriate permission to conduct temple festivals, the investigating officer who received the representation will have to bear the expenses for conducting such temple festivals," Justice P Velmurugan said on Monday. The judge also directed the district superintendent of police concerned to initiate departmental action against the police officer concerned who failed to consider such representations from devotees until the last moment. This results in dragging the public to approach the court unnecessarily for getting permission to conduct such temple festivals, the court added.
