The Tamil Nadu Government's plea challenging the order of the Division Bench of the Madras High Court (HC) was dismissed by the Supreme Court on Tuesday.
The plea challenged the Madras HC order setting aside conditions imposed by the single bench on the route march sought to be carried out by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in the state.
Earlier, a bench comprising Justice V. Ramasubramanian and Justice Pankaj Mithal had heard the parties on three occasions and has reserved its judgment on March 27, reported LiveLaw.
"All SLPs dismissed," Justice Ramasubramanian said on Tuesday.
The detailed order on the judgment is awaited.
Back in September last year, a single bench of the HC passed an order allowing RSS to hold processions on October 2.
Later, RSS filed a contempt petition alleging that the TN government disobeyed the single bench's direction.
The single bench in November modified the original order and allowed RSS to hold marches subject to 11 conditions including organising the processions in closed premises like grounds and stadium; do not carry sticks, lathis or other weapons that might cause injury; not to make statements offending sentiments of other groups and so on, reported LiveLaw.
RSS appealed to the division bench against the conditions. On February 10, 2023 the division bench set aside the single bench's order imposing conditions.
