The Calcutta High Court ruled that Eden Gardens Stadium is not a public space, dismissing the Kolkata Municipal Corporation’s Rs 51 lakh tax demand on the Cricket Association of Bengal. The judgment clarified that public access must be unrestricted for a place to qualify as a public space, which Eden Gardens does not meet.
The Bombay High Court has mandated that abandoned vehicles not obstruct public spaces in Mumbai, directing urgent and continuous disposal efforts by police. Merely moving these vehicles to dumping locations is insufficient; proper disposal through legal methods is required. This ruling aims to alleviate traffic congestion and improve urban management in the city.
