Questioning the propriety behind allowing school students to dance for ‘kuthu’ songs in cultural events conducted within the school premises or in other places, a Madras High Court judge has left it to the conscience of the school authorities to decide whether it is proper to play such songs in such events.
Justice R.M.T. Teekaa Raman made the observation while granting anticipatory bail to four college students who were part of a 13-member gang that ransacked a school hostel following a dispute between Class X and Class XII students over playing of Kuthu songs during Social Service Guild Yercaud (SSGY) retreat event.
