[31/12, 16:09] Meta AI: The Madras High Court has allowed residents of a village in Karur district, Tamil Nadu, to organize New Year celebrations on January 1, 2026, with a condition: no obscene acts will be permitted during the cultural program. Justice M Jothiraman directed the police authorities to consider the petitioner’s representation and pass an appropriate order by December 31, 2025. The petitioner, Shanmugapandiyan, agreed to ensure the event is conducted peacefully and without any obscene acts. ¹ ²

The court’s decision comes after the Supreme Court previously condemned “obscene dance” performances during such events, mandating police permission for such gatherings. The Madras High Court’s condition aligns with this stance, regulating cultural content in public gatherings.
