New Delhi/Bengaluru: Refusing to grant permission for Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations in Karnataka's Idhah Maidan, Supreme Court Tuesday directed the Karnataka government to halt its decision to allow the celebrations. The Court also has ordered a status quo on land by both parties - Waqf Board and the State government as on today. It also has set the petitioner at liberty to approach the High Court for resolution.

A division bench of the Karnataka High Court on August 26 permitted the state government to consider and pass appropriate orders on the applications received by the Deputy Commissioner of Bengaluru (Urban) seeking the use of Idgah Maidan at Chamarajpet.
