Chennai, Aug 8 (IBNS): Quashing the AIADMK-led state government's opposition, the Madras High Court granted permission to the DMK to bury the mortal remains of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, M Karunanidhi, in Chennai's Marina Beach, media reports said.

Karunanidhi, a five-time Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu who had switched to politics from screenwriting, died at an age of 94.
He passed away at 6:10 pm, Kauvery Hospital in Chennai where he was admitted.
The country is observing a national mourning day on Wednesday due to the demise of the former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister.
