Implement court order to display leaders' portraits, says HC

MADURAI: The Madurai bench of the Madras high court on Friday directed the state government to produce sufficient materials to effect implementation of its order to display portraits of C Rajagopalachari, Thanthai Periyar, U Muthuramalinga Thevar and 2 others in the government offices.

In a contempt petition filed by B Stalin, an advocate, against the chief secretary, it was stated that the bench had in February directed the latter chief secretary to consider a representation made by him to display portraits of the said leaders and pass appropriate orders within four months. Since there was no action on this, the petitioner filed the contempt petition against the chief secretary for not implementing the order of the court.
