The Supreme Court on May 3 stayed the opening of a road outside Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s residence in Chandigarh on an experimental basis.
A Bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta noted that both the Centre and Punjab government have opposed the opening of the road, which has been closed since the 1980s, owing to a threat perception.
The Bench issued notice on a plea filed by the Punjab government and sought response of administration of Union Territory of Chandigarh by September 2.
