Pune police grants permission to hold rally on Tipu Sultan birth anniversary
The HinduThe Pune police informed the Bombay High Court on Tuesday that the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen is granted permission to carry out procession on December 24, in Pune’s Baramati to commemorate the Constitution Day and celebrate the birth anniversaries of Bharat Ratna Maulana Abdul Kalam Azad and Tipu Sultan. Accepting the police’s statement, a Division Bench of Justices Revati Mohite-Dere and Prithviraj Chavan noted that even though a person has the right to take out a procession, they must abide by the conditions and restrictions imposed as per the law. The petition, filed by AIMIM’s Pune city president Faiyaz Shaikh, said that initially the party sought permission to carry out a procession to commemorate the birth anniversaries of Tipu Sultan and Maulana Abul Kalam Azad along with Constitution Day on November 26. Representing the petitioner, advocate Tapan Thatte submitted to the Court that even though the police has granted permission to take out the rally, his client is compelled to seek permission from Municipal Council of Baramati for displaying banners and arches.
