The Punjab and Haryana High Court Saturday granted permission to the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) to hold a rally at Faridkot tomorrow.
Besides, the single bench of Justice R K Jain also directed the Punjab government to provide adequate security to avoid any untoward incident in the wake of the rally.
The directions came after opposition party Friday moved the high court, seeking directions to the concerned authorities to grant permission for holding a rally.
"The court granted us the permission to hold the rally and also directed the state government to make adequate security arrangements for maintaining law and order," said Damanbir Singh Sodhi, counsel for Akali Dal.
The petitioner Akali Dal spokesperson and former minister Daljit Singh Cheema said, "The court also put a stay on the order of the Faridkot SDM who denied the permission to hold the rally."
