Dharwad: In a significant development the High Court Dharwad bench has dismissed a petition related to the installation of Lord Ganesha at the Hubli Edgah Maidan.
The Hubballi-Dharwad Municipal Corporation has earlier passed a resolution to install Ganesh’s idol for five years at the Maidan. However, the Anuman Islam organization of Hubballi submitted a petition, that sought an injunction against the installation but was firmly rejected by the High Court.
The court clarified that the Anjuman organization had no authority over the Edgah Maidan. Over a long hearing, the High Court has determined that the Edgah Maidan falls under the purview of the municipal corporation. The court said it was inappropriate for the Anjuman organization to oppose the installation for any reason.
