Mrs Rashmi Siddharth Zagade and Others Citation: 2026 LiveLaw (Mad) 6 The Madras High Court recently remarked that that God or an Idol will never harm any person and the authorities cannot act on superstitions to remove idols from a person's house alleging that it has caused unnatural deaths in the locality. Justice Bharatha Chakravarthy ordered that a person can keep any idol in his own premises and worship peacefully by even inviting his friends or neighbors. The court added that the public cannot take law into their hands as a majority might and remove the idols. Madras High Court Rejects Minister I Periyasamy's Plea Against ED Probe, Tells Him To Approach PMLA Adjudicating Authority First Case Title: I Periyasamy v. Directorate of Enforcement Citation: 2026 LiveLaw (Mad) 7 The Madras High Court has dismissed a plea filed by Tamil Nadu Minister for Rural Development I Periyasamy and his family members challenging an ECIR registered against them by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with a money laundering case. The bench of Chief Justice Manindra Mohan Shrivastava and Justice G Arul Murugan noted that the parties had filed the plea without approaching the adjudicating authority first. The bench thus directed them to approach the adjudicating authority as per law. The court added that if the parties were aggrieved by the orders of the adjudicating authority, they can file necessary pleas at such point of time. Law & Order Issue Imaginary Ghost Created By State: Madras High Court Upholds Order For Lamp Lighting Atop Thiruparankundram Hills Case Title: The Executive Officer v.

A division bench of Justice G Jayachandran and Justice KK Ramakrishnan, while pronouncing the order, held that the order of single judge is not hit by res judicata as the issue was not decided in earlier litigations. The bench said that the appellants–including the state authorities, Hazarath Sultan Sikkandar Badhusha Avuliya Dargah– had failed to produce formidable evidence to show that agama shastra prevented the lighting of the lamp at the site.
