Calcutta High Court Declines Owner’s Plea to Recall Order Permitting Usage of Property’s Ghat for Celebration of Chhath Puja
The Calcutta High Court declined a property owner's plea to recall an order permitting the use of their property's ghat for the celebration of Chhath Puja. The court upheld its previous order, emphasizing the cultural and religious significance of the festival and the need to accommodate public participation. The owner had argued that the use of the ghat would cause inconvenience and potential damage to the property. However, the court balanced these concerns against the broader public interest, ensuring that the festival could be celebrated without undue hindrance. This ruling underscores the judiciary's role in facilitating cultural and religious practices while addressing individual property rights.
