JAMMU: Division Bench of State High Court comprising Chief

Justice M.M Kumar and Justice Tashi Rabstan took serious note

for using Parade play ground for other purpose and directed that

the ground should not be used for any other purpose except for

sport activities. The use of the play ground during Diwali for sale

of crackers is wholly unwarranted and is impermissible. If the play

ground is to be used for any purpose other than the one

pertaining to sports, prior permission from this Court shall be

obtained.

that the play ground is used for sale of crackers during Diwali for

few days and otherwise, it is maintained as a play ground.

Division Bench directed that in view comprehensive directions

issued by this Court in PIL No. 807/1998 continue to be in

operation and the same shall remain binding on the respondents.

The Division Bench further directed that the play ground should

not be used for any other purpose except sport activities. The use

of the play ground during Diwali for sale of crackers is wholly

unwarranted and is impermissible. If the play ground is to be used

for any purpose other than the one pertaining to sports, prior

permission from this Court shall be obtained. JNF
