The bench also issued notices to the Madhya Pradesh government and the Indore administration on the plea of one Suresh Carleton.
Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Terming as “unjustified”, the Supreme Court on Wednesday stayed the decision of the Indore administration to cancel its permission for a prayer meeting of the Christian community on the ground of law and order situation.
“Prima facie, we find that the revocation of the permission which was granted in favour of the petitioner of holding the prayer meeting is not justified. The permission which was granted vide order dated March 22, 2024 and revised on April 05, 2024 specified various conditions so as to safeguard the interest of all the stakeholders and also to ensure that no law and order situation would arise. In these circumstances, the revocation of permission, in our view, was not justified,” a bench comprising Justice B R Gavai, Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Sandeep Mehta said.
The bench also issued notices to the Madhya Pradesh government and the Indore administration on the plea of one Suresh Carleton.
The petition was filed against the order of the Indore bench of Madhya Pradesh High Court upholding the revocation of the nod to hold the prayer meeting.
