State, trusts directed to find solution
The Bombay High Court on Thursday asked the Maharashtra government to reply to a petition seeking permission for the Jain community to take away parcels of boiled food from their temples during the Ayambil fast. A Division Bench of Justices S.C. Gupte and Abhay Ahuja was hearing a petition filed by two Jain trusts — the Shree Trustee Atma Kamal Lab Labdhisurishwarji Jain Gyanmandir Trust, and the Sheth Motisha Religious and Charitable Trust. They were seeking permission to “take away pious boiled cooked food from the premises of the religious trust” for nine days starting April 19.
