Land not used for any other purpose for 200 years, it says
The Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered status quo against the use of Idgah Maidan in Bengaluru for Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations on August 31 and September 1.
"Why can't you hold your puja somewhere else?" Justice Indira Banerjee, leading a three-judge Bench, asked the Karnataka government and the municipal corporation.
"We think there should be status quo… Especially when the land was never used for any other purpose for 200 years," Justice A.S. Oka, on the Bench, orally observed.
Justice M.M. Sundresh enquired if the authorities had made any arrangements for the Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations.
The court finally ordered status quo on the land "as on today".
The case saw a eventful train of events during the post-lunch session.
The case was originally listed before a Division Bench of Justice Hemant Gupta and Sudhanshu Dhulia. However, the Bench could not reach a consensus due to difference of opinion between the two judges. The case was referred back to the Chief Justice.
