Now, once again, it appears as if a judicial walkover is being given to the Hindu right wing through the judiciary's lack of interest in upholding the spirit of the 1991 Act.
Celebrations to begin from Dec. 27
Chikkamagaluru Deputy Commissioner Bagadi Gautam has issued a notification listing a set of instructions for devotees participating in the Datta Jayanti celebrations to be held for three days from December 27.
In the notification issued on Wednesday, Mr. Gautam said the organisers have to take prior permission from the police officers concerned. Conducting any event without prior permission had been prohibited. Participants will not be allowed to carry any weapon during the event. Nobody will be allowed to damage public property or hold a protest or burn effigies. It will be the responsibility of the organisers to ensure the public are not disturbed during the event, the officer said.
