The Supreme Court has granted the Uttar Pradesh government a 10-day extension to respond to Swami Prasad Maurya’s case. Maurya had challenged the Allahabad High Court’s decision rejecting his plea to stop proceedings related to alleged remarks on ‘Ramcharitmanas’. The former Samajwadi Party leader has been the subject of controversy and has recently formed his own political party after leaving the Samajwadi Party.
