Actor Parthiban has approached the Madras High Court again through a public interest litigation, seeking a clearer legal framework for issuing “no caste, no religion” certificates across Tamil Nadu. According to the petition, the Tamil Nadu government should be directed to enact a law or issue an official order or circular that instructs Revenue Department officials to process and issue these certificates within a reasonable time. The filings are aimed at removing delays and creating a consistent process for all applicants.
Both reports note that the court has previously directed the state to frame guidelines for such applications. In this renewed petition, Parthiban presses for those directions to translate into enforceable administrative action through legislation or a government order/circular. The matter is listed for hearing on Monday, August 3, the outlets report. The reports do not describe any final ruling or state response in the articles provided.
