The police also restrained the club from burning the effigy at midnight on December 31.

The court further instructed the club officials to submit documents proving that they had obtained permissions from the department of fire and rescue services and the Electrical Inspectorate.

During the hearing of the petition filed by the club challenging the police order, the court observed that it was unclear under what provision the police issued the restraining order.
