The Madras High Court dismissed a Petition filed with a prayer to take immediate steps to remove all flag-poles already erected unauthorisedly on public roads and other public places and to hereafter prevent erection of unauthorised flagpoles on public roads and other public places by any political party or any organisation or any individual anywhere in Tamil Nadu.
The Petition has been filed by one B.R.Aravindakshan.
The Division Bench of Chief Justice Sanjay V. Gangapurwala and Justice D. Bharatha Chakravarthy noted that the petition is bereft of details of the erection of the alleged flag- poles. No such incident has been narrated in the petition.
V.Vargees Amal Raja , counsel for the petitioner submits that the present petition is filed to ensure that in future flag-poles may not be erected.
“We cannot entertain the writ petition anticipating future contingencies. There are orders already passed by this Court with regard to erection of hoardings and flag-poles in W.P.No.17768 of 2016, dated 02.04.2019”, the order read.
