Supreme Court Allows Bombay High Court Order to Remove Shivaji Maharaj Statue in Goa to Stand
The Supreme Court declined to intervene in the Bombay High Court's order directing the removal of a Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj statue from Mormugao Port Authority land in Goa. Petitioners withdrew their appeal but were allowed to seek a modification of the order in the High Court. The Bombay High Court ruled the statue was installed illegally, violating local laws, and criticized authorities for inaction despite complaints from the Port Authority alleging forcible encroachment with alleged political support.
