Bombay High Court said on Tuesday that Maratha’s activist Maneoj Jarange cannot organize a protest without prior permission of the authorities, while during the Ganesh Festival he quotes the situation and order in Mumbai.
The bench of the main judge of Aradhe and the Justice Sandeep Marne said that while democracy and dissent are going hand in hand, demonstrations should only take place in designated places.
The bench said the government could ask whether to offer an alternative place in Kharghar in Navi Bombai to respondent (Jarange) to organize a peaceful protest so that the pace of life in Mumbai would not be disturbed.
Stir for 10 % quota
Jarange gave the government the Maharahtra Ultimatum until Tuesday to grant 10 % of the quota to the Maratha community within the other back -class groups (CITC) groups, failed to march into the bomb with supporters of marathy and sit on the indefinite rapidly 29 August.
The court stated that peace protests could be carried out after the authorization is requested according to the new rules for public assemblies and agitation.
Respondents (Jarange and its collaborators) are to apply for such permission from the competent authorities, the bench said, adding that it would then be opened for the government as under the provisions of the law.
“It would also be open to the government to offer an alternative place in Khargar in Navi Bombai to organize his peace protest so that the pace of life in Mumbai is not limited,” said Lavička, remarks that public places cannot be occupied for an indefinite period.
Democracy and dissent go hand in hand, but the demonstrations must be in designated places where such a protest can be held, he added.
The court noted that the police would be busy maintaining law and order in the city during the Ganesh Chaturthi festival, which begins on Wednesday.
The High Court responded to the sawmill of the Amy Foundation, which challenged the proposed agitation.
The general defense attorney of Birendra Saraf submitted to the court that while the state does not question the citizen’s right to protest peace protests, it should not be a way that the city would stop.
He said that the police force is very burdened with measures for the law and order and the assembly of a large number of people during the Ganesh Chaturthi festival, and a large number of people would be of great tension and cause serious inconvenience.
The bench issued a announcement to Jarange, who was looking for his response to the petition and published this matter for the next hearing of 9 September.
