Madras High Court Restrains Music Academy from Awarding TM Krishna

Madras High Court has restrained the Music Academy in Chennai from presenting the Sangita Kalanidhi MS Subbulakshmi Award 2024 to Carnatic singer TM Krishna. The court’s ruling came after a petition by MS Subbulakshmi’s grandson, Srinivasan, citing the musician’s will. Krishna denied allegations of trivializing Subbulakshmi’s achievements, while some Carnatic artists opposed the award.
