Karunanidhi's son and DMK acting President Stalin breaks down as the news comes in that they have won the case. He is being hugged by former telecom minister, A Raja.

DMK cadres erupt in joy.

It has been a tense few hours for the family and the party after the Tamil Nadu government refused permission to bury Karunanidhi at Marina Beach.  

This is a huge embarrassment for the Tamil Nadu government which could have been gracious and allowed the Dravida movement's tallest leader a resting place at Marina Beach.
