Team Thackeray Moves High Court Over Dussehra Rally At Mumbai Park

The petition sought directions to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation to quickly grant permission for the Shiv Sena's Dussehra rally at the Shivaji Park.

The Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena on Wednesday moved the Bombay High Court seeking permission to hold its annual Dussehra rally at the Shivaji Park in central Mumbai.

The petition was filed by the Shiv Sena and its secretary Anil Desai.

The plea said the party was constrained to approach the High Court as the Mumbai civic body was yet to take a decision on their applications submitted in August seeking permission for the rally.

The petition sought directions to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation to quickly grant permission for the Shiv Sena's Dussehra rally at the Shivaji Park.
