Delhi High Court rejects PIL challenging Centre's move to observe Samvidhaan Hatya Divas

The Delhi High Court has dismissed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) challenging the central government's decision to observe August 14 as "Samvidhaan Hatya Divas" (Constitutional Murder Day). The PIL argued that the day was inauspicious and violated the principles of secularism and democracy by commemorating the death of the Constituent Assembly's proposal for a constitution. The court rejected the plea, stating that the government’s designation of the day does not infringe on constitutional rights or secular values. It highlighted that the observance is meant to reflect on the importance of the Constitution and its adoption.
