It was noted there is no provision of law which obliges anyone to sing the National Anthem. The Supreme Court had held that the children while refusing to sing had stood up respectfully, the judge said. The matter reached the Supreme Court, which struck down the expulsion and directed their re-admission in the school. When three school children who were adherents of Jehovah's Witnesses, a Christian denomination, refused to sing the National Anthem, they were expelled from the school, in Kerala. 3 of the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971 states whoever intentionally prevents the singing of the National Anthem or causes disturbance to any assembly engaged in such singing shall be punished with imprisonment which may extend to three years, or with fine, or with both.Īrticle 51A(a) of the Constitution mandates it shall be the duty of every citizen of India to respect the National Flag and the National Anthem. Hence, the present criminal original petition from Ilango, challenging the FIR. Hence, a case was registered against them for offences under various sections of the IPC including rioting and criminal intimidation. When the Mutt manager protested, he was criminally intimidated. They allegedly entered the Mutt premises wearing footwear. Kan Ilango, now associated with NTK and then part of " Tamilar Desiya Munnani", and his men entered the branch of the Kanchi Mutt in Rameswaram, shouting slogans, condemning the Shankaracharya.
When the invocation song to Mother Tamil, "Tamil Thai Vaazhthu" was played, the seer remained seated and this triggered considerable outrage and debate. The then Tamil Nadu Governor Banwarilal Purohit released a Tamil-Sanskrit dictionary at a function held in Music Academy, Chennai in the presence of the Pontiff of the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam Sri Vijayendra Saraswathi on January 24, 2018. Justice G R Swaminathan gave the ruling recently while quashing an FIR registered against "Nam Tamilar Katchi" (NTK) functionaries by the Remeswaram police in Ramanathapuram district, in 2018. The 'Tamil Thai Vaazhthu', an invocation, is only a prayer song and not a National Anthem and hence, there is no need for every one to remain in standing posture when it is rendered, the Madras High Court bench here has ruled.
