The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has directed that flowers be offered at the Deepathoon located at the summit of Thirupparankundram Hill, while hearing a contempt of court petition related to the ongoing Thirupparankundram dispute.
During the hearing, the Madurai City Police Commissioner, the Executive Officer of the Thirupparankundram Temple, and members of the Temple Trustee Committee appeared before the court in person.
The Trustee Committee informed the court that it required two weeks’ time to implement the earlier court order concerning the matter.
Responding to this request, the judge questioned whether the Trustee Committee should be added as a party to the contempt proceedings, noting that it had become evident that the committee bore responsibility for the delay in implementing the court’s directive.
The court also observed that the Executive Officer of the Thirupparankundram Temple appeared to be acting in favour of the Rajappattar Dargah administration in the dispute.
During the proceedings, the judge directed that flowers be offered at the Deepathoon at the summit of Thirupparankundram Hill, and granted time for authorities to take a decision on the matter and inform the court.
The case has been adjourned to 18 March 2026 for further hearing.
