The Madras High Court on Tuesday, February 13, 2024, said that it shall pass orders on Friday, February 16, on a batch of public interest litigation (PIL) petitions that had questioned the necessity of conducting a Formula 4 night street race around the Island Grounds in the heart of Chennai city.
Justices R. Mahadevan and Mohammed Shaffiq had listed the PIL petitions on Tuesday, and wanted to know whether the plan to conduct the race had been abandoned. Advocate General P.S. Raman replied that the race had only been postponed to the next season.
Pursuant to the clarification, the senior judge in the Second Division Bench told the counsel that they shall pass orders on merits on Friday.
