Allahabad High Court seeks State response on plea to shut wine shop near temple during Shravan

The Allahabad High Court has requested the State's response to a plea for closing a wine shop near Shravan Shram Mandir in Ayodhya during the Shravan month. The petitioner claims the shop's proximity causes hardship to devotees. The Deputy Excise Commissioner dismissed a previous complaint, citing potential revenue loss. The court asked for detailed measurements between the shop and temple to ensure compliance with the 100-meter distance rule, directing the District Excise Officer to provide an affidavit on the measurement process.
