Calcutta HC allows Jamiat e Ulema rally in Kolkata with 750-participant capThe Calcutta High Court allowed a Jamiat e Ulema rally in Kolkata on Tuesday, limiting participation to 750 and imposing restrictions on sound, traffic and dispersal. Justice Bhattacharyya also directed that no loudspeakers would be allowed and only handmikes can be used, adhering to decibel norms. The court directed the police authorities to depute adequate personnel to maintain law and order during the rally. The AG stated that earlier programmes held by this organisation led to disturbances, including brickbatting and injuries to police personnel and damage to police vehicles. The AG stated before the court that the President’s motorcade had to be diverted owing to disturbances during a rally by this organisation in 2014.
