Can't Question Govt's Political Wisdom': Allahabad HC On PIL Challenging Centre's 'Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas' Notification

The Allahabad High Court recently addressed a PIL filed by Amitabh Thakur challenging the central government's decision to designate November 26 as "Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas" (Constitution Day). Thakur contends that the notification undermines the sanctity of the Indian Constitution by associating it with a day of mourning, which he argues is an affront to the nation’s democratic values. The PIL seeks to quash the notification and reaffirm the Constitution’s significance as a celebratory and revered document rather than associating it with a negative connotation. The court's examination will focus on the implications of this designation on the Constitution’s revered status and its impact on public perception.
