After the Bombay High Court restrained the Maha Vikas Aghadi and even individuals from calling for a Maharashtra bandh over the Badlapur incident today, the Opposition parties chose to backtrack, and instead decided to protest via an hour-long sit-in across the state. However, in declaring their stand, the MVA partners took turns, with NCP (SP) boss Sharad Pawar taking the initiative to call off the bandh, followed by the Congress and Shiv Sena (UBT).
Hearing two petition on Friday, a division bench of Chief Justice DK Upadhyaya and Justice Amit Borkar said the Maharashtra government shall take all necessary steps to prevent a bandh. The petitions were filed on Friday through advocates Subhash Jha and Gunaratna Sadavarte challenging the call for a bandh. “We are restraining any political party and/or any individual from calling for a bandh. The state shall take all preventive steps,” the HC said.
