With the announcement of elections in Tamil Nadu, the Madras High Court is experiencing a familiar influx of Public Interest Litigations (PILs). These petitions typically seek to address concerns such as halting the distribution of cash and gifts to voters, protecting Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) from tampering, and enforcing the Model Code of Conduct (MCC). However, many of these PILs are often repetitive and lack genuine public interest, leading to their dismissal or withdrawal. For instance, on April 7, Chief Justice Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari rejected four PILs, including one from T Prabhakaran, who sought to postpone Indian Premier League (IPL) matches scheduled at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Another PIL filed by advocate M L Ravi aimed to prevent the misuse of reserved election symbols by candidates affiliated with other parties. The court has consistently dismissed petitions aimed at enforcing election regulations, branding them as 'publicity litigation.' This pattern of repetitive PILs is a recurring theme during election seasons in Tamil Nadu.
