Madras HC permits Isha Yoga to hold Maha Shivaratri festivities

CHENNAI: The Madras High Court on Monday refused to restrain Isha Yoga Centre from going ahead with its much-advertised Maha Shivarathri festivities on February 26 and 27, 2025 in its premises in Coimbatore.

A division bench of justices SM Subramaniam and K Rajasekar dismissed the petitions filed by ST Sivagnanan, who owns a piece of land adjacent to the premises. He had sought a direction to the authorities concerned to ensure Isha took measures to deal with noise pollution and to avoid the discharge of sewage into the adjacent agricultural land before granting permission for the event.
