Hearing a batch of petitioners seeking the Supreme Court's intervention in the Odisha government's order, the apex court said it would not interfere with Odisha government order limiting this year's Rath Yatra to the Puri Jagannath Temple only.
The SC order concluded, "The imposition of Rs. 1 lakhs by HC was on the basis that petition only with regard to one public project and was motivated. We dismiss the plea.”
Meanwhile, Maheshwari has filed a caveat in the Supreme Court, pleading to be heard before any orders are passed in any appeal filed by Ghaziabad Police.
The petitioners highlighted that the local police, the district administration, and the State government have failed to exercise their power in upholding the life and liberty of the Hindu community.
