Live LawThe Kerala High Court directed the Aluva Municipality to provide an undertaking before the Court that the temporary amusement park at Aluva Shivaratri Manappuram shall be established and operated only in strict compliance with the law. “There can be little doubt that any Amusement Park - be that temporary or permanent - will have to adhere to every requirement in law, particularly safety criteria, because if any mishap is to happen, it would have a cataclysmic effect, especially when it is common knowledge that large number of devotees and others would throng the festival.” stated Justice Devan Ramachandran The petitioner has approached the High Court seeking Aluva Municipality to prohibit the operation of a temporary Amusement Park at Aluva Shivaratri Manappuram without required clearances, permissions, and approvals from competent officials. The Standing Counsel appearing on behalf of the Municipality informed the Court that a temporary amusement park would not be allowed to be established and operated without obtaining every requisite permission, approval and clearance as per the judgment dated September 29, 2020 in WP No. He thus sought for dismissal of the writ petition on giving an undertaking that the temporary amusement park shall only be established and operated with strict compliance of laws, especially complying with all applicable statutory and mandatory safety requirements.
