Karnataka HC Orders Fresh Plea on RSS Chittapur March, With Report Due Oct. 24

The organisation has now sought to hold the centenary procession on November 2 after local officials blocked the October 19 plan over law-and-order concerns.

Overview

  • The Chittapur tahsildar denied permission for the October 19 route march, citing police inputs about potential clashes with Bhim Army and Dalit Panthers seeking the same route and time.
  • Justice M. G. S. Kamal directed the RSS to file a detailed fresh application with the Kalaburagi Deputy Commissioner and asked the administration to submit a status report to the court on October 24.
  • The court recorded that separate time slots should be considered for different groups and noted the constitutional right to peaceful assembly subject to reasonable restrictions for public order.
  • Following the directive, the RSS filed a new application on October 20 requesting permission for a November 2 march in Chittapur, while the October 19 event was called off.
  • Authorities removed RSS banners and flags installed without approval, and the state issued an order requiring prior permission for private groups to use government property for events.
