In Brief
The petitioner sought permission and police protection for a cultural dance programme (Adalpadal) scheduled for January 27, 2019, in Tirunelveli District. The police had previously registered cases against the petitioner for violating undertakings and exceeding time limits. The Court granted permission subject to detailed conditions: prohibition on obscene content, double-meaning songs, and politically or religiously divisive material; completion before 11 p.m.; and a written undertaking from organizers to comply. The police retain authority to immediately stop the performance if conditions are violated or time limits exceeded. The petition was disposed of with these directions."
