In response to the petitions lodged by a Hindu nationalist group regarding remarks made by DMK leaders against Sanatan Dharma, the Madras High Court emphasized the importance of responsible conduct among individuals in positions of authority.

Nevertheless, the Madras High Court declined to issue a writ of 'possession warrant' in response to the petitions filed against DMK ministers Udhayanidhi Stalin, PK Shekhar Babu, and MP A Raja. These petitions questioned their right to remain in office following allegations of making remarks against Sanatan Dharma.

Justice Anita Sumanth has dismissed petitions filed by two Hindu Munnani office-bearers and another individual, challenging the right of three DMK leaders to hold official positions. These petitions invoked the common law remedy of a 'writ of warrant,' which is used to contest a person's eligibility to hold public or corporate office.

The petitioners alleged that the DMK leaders had participated in an anti-Sanatan Dharma gathering and purportedly delivered speeches against religious practices.

Justice Anita Sumant emphasized that individuals in high positions should exercise greater responsibility, ensuring thorough verification and investigation of historical events before making statements.

Furthermore, she noted that the petitioners had sought to expedite legal remedies prematurely. Despite several FIRs lodged concerning the issue of Sanatan Dharma across various police stations, no convictions have been secured thus far. Consequently, Justice Anita Sumant determined that the writ of 'warrant of authority' would not be applicable at this stage.
