Allahabad High Court Dismisses PIL Challenging Closure of Chicken Shops on Kanwar Yatra Route
The Allahabad High Court dismissed a public interest litigation filed by lawyer Nasir Farooq challenging the closure of chicken and mutton shops along the Kanwar Yatra route in Amroha, Uttar Pradesh, during the month of Shravan. The petitioner argued that the closure notice was undated and affected livelihoods, but the court found the petition lacked specific details and deemed it a publicity-driven action rather than genuine public interest. The court noted that affected shopkeepers could individually challenge any notices served to them.
