In the RSS Route March Case, the Madras High Court said citizens’ rights cannot be surrendered to the whims and fancies of the police, called the State’s reasons lame, and sought the DGP’s instructions.
The Madras High Court questioned Tamil Nadu police over the yearly denial of RSS route march permission, orally remarking that the government was seeing citizens as enemies, and sought a State report.
The Karnataka High Court has permitted the RSS to hold its route march in Chittapur on November 16, allowing 300 participants and a 50-member band. The court retained most conditions set by the Tahsildar for the event.
The Karnataka government deferred permission for the RSS route march in Chittapur citing a “tense” situation. The High Court has now ordered a peace meeting before deciding on the event.
