Two organisations today withdrew the call for tomorrow's 24-hour Karbi Anglong bandh during hearing of a PIL in Gauhati High Court against the bandh.
The Sixth Schedule Implementation Committee and the United Karbi Students Association have called the bandh in protest against certain inaction on the part of Karbi Anglong Autonomous District Council, the petitioner informed the court.
Asomiya Yuba Manch's secretary Jitul Deka today filed the PIL in the court of Chief Justice Ajit Singh and Justice Suman Shyam seeking remedies against the shutdown saying the bandh call was illegal.
It is violation of the law laid down by the Supreme Court and Gauhati High Court, the petitioner submitted.
The respondents had called an indefinite bandh from April 26 last year and called it off three days later and the people of Karbi Anglong had suffered immensely during that period, he said.
The two respondents had called a bandh again from 5 am of July 6, 2017 to 5 pm of July 7, 2017, he said.
The counsel appearing for the respondents then submitted before the court that they are withdrawing the bandh.
