On the other hand, multiple petitions filed earlier in the Supreme Court seeking partial modification in the apex court’s previous order of disallowing Ratha Jatra in Puri was today listed for hearing on June 22 at 11 am.
The hearing by Justice S. Ravindra Bhat is scheduled to take place through videoconferencing at Virtual Court no. 3.
The Supreme Court’s ruling came on a plea by an NGO seeking direction to stay the holding of the festival. The plea filed by NGO Odisha Vikas Parishad claimed that presently the entire nation including Odisha is facing an unprecedented situation due to Covid-19, where the lives of the common people are at a huge risk.
I thanks Mr Sambit Patra and others for their application for reconsiderations of SC order regarding JAGANATH RATHYATRA at Puri.Also I Pray God for possative response should be by Honourable Justice Mr S Rabindra Bhat.
