Madras HC warns: "Don't test our patience" on judge comments

• Madras High Court's Madurai Bench warned against personal comments degrading the judiciary.
• The court stated it would not tolerate attempts to "test the patience" of the court or demoralize the institution.
• Remarks were made during an appeal hearing related to the Thirupparankundram lamp lighting (Karthigai Deepam) case.
• The case involves a single judge's order to light a lamp near a Dargah, which was not complied with.
• The Division Bench will hear the Karthigai Deepam case verdict on December 12, consolidating all appeals.
