Decks are cleared for the public meeting of Bharatiya Janata party at Hanamkonda on Saturday with the Telangana High Court on Friday instructing Warangal Police Commissioner Tarun Joshi to permit it.
Justice T. Vinod Kumar of the HC issued the direction after hearing a writ petition filed by BJP’s State unit by way of lunch motion. He directed the petitioner to approach the Commissioner with details of the number of people attending the meeting, time, place and areas earmarked for parking of vehicles.
Dictating the order after hearing extensive arguments of petitioner’s counsel J. Prabhakar seeking permission for the meet and Advocate General B.S. Prasad opposing the same, the judge said the police must ensure safe passage of ambulances during the meeting. The judge also suspended the prohibitory orders issued by the Commissioner the previous day along with the order of the Warangal DCP rejecting permission for the public meeting.
