  Maharashtra spared of bandh after HC ruling but oppn to hold black band protest today

  The Bombay High Court on Friday restrained political parties or individuals from proceeding with a Maharashtra bandh on August 24 or any future date, forcing the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) to withdraw its proposed state-wide shutdown to protest sexual assault on two minor girls in a school and push the government for swift action. The court said such a protest will paralyse normal life and relied on a 2004 High Court ruling which held the enforcement of bandhs or general strikes unconstitutional.

  The MVA, which consists of the Congress, the Shiv Sena (UBT) and the NCP (SP), had given a call for a state-wide bandh on August 24 (Saturday) to protest against the Mahayuti government over the sexual abuse of two kindergarten girls in Badlapur in Thane earlier this month. Reacting to the HC ruling, the MVA said it has called off the bandh, but it will go ahead with peaceful demonstration across the state with black bands tied on the mouth of its leaders and workers.
