Ilayaraja had been in possession of the sound recording theatre in Prasad Digital Film Laboratories for more than three decades on the basis of an oral understanding between him and L.V. Prasad
The Madras High Court on Friday wanted to know why legendary music composer Ilayaraja should not be permitted to meditate just for a day at a sound recording theatre, from where he had been composing and recording music for more than 35 years, situated inside Prasad Digital Film Laboratories here.
Justice N. Sathish Kumar raised the question after senior counsel P.S. Raman, representing the musician, told the court that his client was not interested in pursuing a civil suit against the owners of the film laboratory if he was permitted to meditate at the recording theatre just for a day and then take away his belongings.
