A plea has been filed in the Supreme Court by the NGO, Association of Protection of Civil Rights (APCR), challenging the latest diktat of the Uttar Pradesh government directing shop owners to display their names outside shops during the Kanwar Yatra.
A bench of Justices Hrishikesh Roy and SVN Bhatti is slated to hear the case on Monday.
The Uttar Pradesh Government on July 19 made it mandatory for food and beverage shops along Kanwar routes to display the name and identity of the operator/owner of their establishments. The decision has been criticized for being discriminatory towards the Muslims and being a divisive step.
The petition comes against the backdrop of similar orders being issued in Ujjain and elsewhere.
The Uttar Pradesh government, meanwhile, has announced special security arrangements to ensure uninhibited darshan for Lord Shiva's devotees; the auspicious month of Sawan begins on Monday and will continue from July 22 till August 19. Large numbers of devotees are expected to travel with 'kanwars' to perform "jalabhishek' of Lord Shiva during this period.
