Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy has ordered that an escrow account be created in the name of Kondaduvom Entertainment, a company owned by Menon. The court has directed that all the transactions that are to be done before and after the movie's release be done through the account. An advocate commissioner has also been appointed to oversee the transactions in the account. The court passed the directions in an application filed by two creditors of Gautham Vasudev Menon and his production house, seeking to restrain the movie's release in light of pending dues. In 2023, the court passed an interim injunction order restraining the release of the movie. Madras High Court Asks TN Govt To Include Life Of Dr. Ambedkar In School Curriculum Case Title: G Rajesh and Another v. The State of Tamil Nadu and Others Citation: 2026 LiveLaw (Mad) 196 The Madras High Court has directed the Tamil Nadu government to take necessary policy decisions to include lessons in the Social Science curriculum, including the life and contribution of Dr BR Ambedkar and the role played by him in the freedom movement and democratic nation-building. Justice Victoria Gowri emphasised that the school system should not just teach the Constitution as dry institutional facts, but teach it through the lives of people who shaped it. The court stressed that to understand Ambedkar is to understand why the constitution must be social. The court added that though it was not for the judiciary to tell the State to adopt a particular policy or dictate what should be included in the curriculum, it was constrained to emphasise that the constitutional value of fraternity cannot be left to the uncertainties of social transmission. The court added that it was time for the State to recognise that constitutional literacy was a component of social responsibility.
