HC Nod for Shobha Yatra on April 17

Justice B. Vijay Sen Reddy of the Telangana High Court permitted the Kesari Hanuman Yuva Sanghatan to carry out the Lord Rama Shobha Yatra on April 17. The judge made the order in a lunch motion moved by the petitioner Addala Karthik, president of the KHYS, challenging the Tappachabutra police order rejecting his application for permission to conduct the Shobha Yatra. 

The government pleader opposing the petition argued that the route proposed by the petitioner passed through very



narrow lanes and bylanes and mixed population locations and may create law and order problems. Counsel for the petitioner contended that the Shobha Yatra was conducted last year as well, there was no law and order situation and was conducted in a very peaceful manner. 

The judge after hearing both counsels allowed the writ petitioner to hold the Shobha Yatra on the same route and directed the petitioner to conclude it before 3 pm.
