Madras HC reserves order on hoardings definition

By M4G Bureau - December 11, 2019

Hoardings printers’ body had asserted that the redefinition of hoardings by the local urban body was discriminatory

The High Court of Madras has reserved its order on the plea related to the hoarding issue prevailing in Chennai. The hoarding printers’ association had filed a case against the amendment in the definition of hoardings in the Chennai City Municipal Corporation Act by the Chennai Municipal Corporation, as per media reports.

In 2018, the corporation had made the amendment whereby the sites erected on permitted property such as space and buildings have been called hoardings whereas banners placed on private properties were removed from that category. The association decried that move, calling it discriminatory, more so as hoardings are banned in the city.

It has been argued that the amendment was brought about to specifically deal with the issue of unauthorised hoardings. After hearing arguments, the first bench of Chief Justice AP Sahi and Justice Subramonium Prasad said they were reserving orders.
