In a significant development, the Madras High Court has directed authorities to issue a "No Caste, No Religion" certificate to actor and filmmaker Radhakrishnan Parthiban. Justice M Dhandapani instructed the Sholinganallur Tahsildar in Chennai to process and grant the certificate by April 29.The court also observed that repeated delays in addressing Parthiban's request were unacceptable. It noted that if the Tamil Nadu government continues to remain unresponsive, the actor is free to initiate contempt of court proceedings.
