Mumbai: Observing that conditions had been violated earlier, the Bombay High Court today refused to grant permission to a cultural organisation to hold “Chhath Puja” celebrations at Juhu beach on November 8.
“We would not like to interfere with the order of the Collector (of Mumbai) refusing permission to Maan Ranglo,” a cultural organisation, to organise the “Chhath Puja,” said Justices R D Dhanuka and Gautam Patel.
“No religion demands violation of High Court conditions,” said the bench while dismissing a petition filed by the organisation challenging the order of the Collector refusing to give permission.
The judges upheld the order of the collector saying he was right in refusing permission as the organisation had violated conditions every year since 2008 because of which it had to forfeit its security deposit every time.
