BJP Leader Subramanian Swamy Moves Allahabad HC Against UP Govt's Action Declaring Fairs Of State's Temples As Govt 'Melas'

The Allahabad High Court dismissed BJP leader Subramanian Swamy’s petition which sought the Uttar Pradesh government’s control over the management of fairs, temples, and festivals in the state. Swamy argued that the state government was failing to properly manage religious events and temples, leading to widespread mismanagement. However, the Court found no substantial evidence or constitutional grounds to interfere with the functioning of the state’s religious affairs. The judgment upheld the state's authority over such events and emphasized the necessity of maintaining a separation between religious matters and government intervention unless clear violations of law were demonstrated.
