Plea rejected on grounds that petitioner had ‘belatedly approached this court’
The Calcutta High Court on Monday dismissed a petition seeking a direction to the Central governmentto permit the West Bengal tableau of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose in the Republic Day parade.
A Division Bench of Chief Justice Prakash Shrivastava and Justice Rajarshi Bharadwaj rejected the petition on grounds that the petitioner had “belatedly approached this court”.
“As the Republic Day celebration is day after tomorrow, therefore, at this stage, no effective direction can be issued. Hence, no case for interference in the present writ petition is made out which is accordingly dismissed,” the order said.
