The Allahabad High Court on Thursday reserved its judgment on a PIL challenging renaming of Allahabad as Prayagraj.

A bench comprising Chief Justice Govind Mathur and Justice Y K Srivastava reserved its order on the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by Allahabad Heritage Society and 12 others.

Challenging the notification issued by the state government, it was submitted by the petitioners before the court that as per rules, a public notice was required to be issued inviting objections from people and also a committee should have been constituted to decide objections, which was not done.
