State benefits doled on caste lines are also leading to ‘caste ferocity’ in society: Madras High Court
Justice Anita Sumanth, in her observations in the case relating to the Sanatana Dharma row, said the ancient Varna Dharma propounded caste divisions only on the basis of avocation and not birth; she emphasised that caste inequities that exist today must be eradicated.

A married woman’s residential status should not be viewed through a patriarchal prism, says Madras HC
Though a married woman ordinarily lives at her husband’s place, she cannot be presumed to have disowned her residential rights at her parents’ house on account of her marriage. The rules of marriage do not impose any such condition on a woman, and therefore, she can gain public employment by claiming to be a resident of her native village, the Madras High Court has said.
