The Bombay High Court today told ISKON that it would be allowed to hold the Yatra at Shivaji Park this time if it gave an undertaking that it would not seek to hold the event here from next year.
A division bench of Chief Justice Mohit Shah and Justice A V Mohta was hearing an application filed by ISKON seeking permission to hold the Rath Yatra from January 8 to 13.
ISKON approached the court after the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation had refused to grant permission on the ground that Shivaji Park was a silence zone.
The high court which had given permission to ISKON last year to hold the yatra, today, asked the organisation to give an undertaking that from next year the function would be held elsewhere.
The undertaking will have to be filed tomorrow.
The court had similarly allowed Shiv Sena to hold its Dussehra rally at Shivaji Park in October.
