No Marathi food fest at Shivaji Park, HC tells MNS

April 19, 2012 13:50

In a setback for the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, the Bombay High Court today refused to grant permission to the Raj Thackeray-led party to conduct a 'Marathi Food Festival' from May 3-10 at Shivaji Park in Mumbai. A division bench observed that if permission is granted then the ground would not be available for sports activities.

The MNS had moved the high court challenging an order passed by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) refusing to grant permission to conduct the festival at Shivaji Park on the grounds that it is a 'silence zone'.
