The Allahabad High Court today directed the Uttar Pradesh Government to file its response on a PIL challenging the Government order imposing restrictions on demonstrations and dharnas.
The Lucknow Bench of the court comprising Mr Justice Pradeep Kant and Mr Justice Rituraj Awasthi while passing the order on the PIL filed by Naitik Party fixed May 27 as the next date of hearing.
The petitioner has submitted that an order passed by the State Government on April 27 regarding demonstrations and dharnas was illegal and against the Constitutional provisions.
The counsel Chandra Bhushan Pandey said that in the order provision of giving a written undertaking while taking permission from the government to hold agitation was against the provisions of the law.
The Government, on April 27, had passed an order in which it had made mandatory to take permission of the local administration while organising demonstrations and dharnas and give a written undertaking of peaceful agitation.
According to the order, in case of loss of property during the agitation by political parties provision had been made to realise the cost from their leaders.
