Bombay High Court declines to grant immediate relief to the Mithila Chhath Puja Sangh, which sought permission to hold Chhath Puja celebrations at Girgaon Chowpatty on November 15-16, 2026. "Undoubtedly, there is a freedom of conscience, and free profession, practice and propagation of religion. However, the same is subject to public order, morality and health, as provided in the constitutional provision. In other words, there are checks and balances which are provided and required to be followed, under such constitutional mandate." The association approached the Court after the DB Marg Police Station rejected its application on September 17.
