Which law allows immersion procession on pvt road? Bombay HC asks govt

September 07, 2015 17:13

The Bombay High Court today sought to know from the Maharashtra government under which law it allows Ganpati and Navratri processions on private roads leading to immersion points, even when residents along private roads have raised objections.

A division bench of justices A S Oka and V L Achliya asked the government to inform by September 14 under what provisions of law does it allow processions on private property.

The court was hearing a petition filed by Abhinav Nagar Cooperative Housing Society, a private residential complex having gates, located in suburban Borivali.

The society has challenged a notice issued to it by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation directing it to keep the society gates open so that the road, which leads to the Dahisar river, can be used for immersion procession.
