Peace Committee Settlement Binding Under Article 25 | Madras HC Upholds Religious Procession Despite Police Objection on Public Order Grounds
Madras High Court ruled that a Peace Committee settlement resolving intra-community disputes over religious processions is legally binding, overriding police refusal based on speculative unrest. The court mandated the procession proceed under the Parish Priest's leadership with Tahsildar and DSP oversight, reinforcing constitutional protections for religious expression under Article 25.
