The Supreme Court on September 18 declined to intervene against a Madras High Court decision to prohibit the sale of Ganesha idols made of Plaster of Paris in Tamil Nadu.
A three-judge Bench headed by Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud had in the morning agreed to urgently hear an artisan who had challenged the Madras High Court Division Bench order stopping the sale of Ganesha idols made of Plaster of Paris.
The idols are immersed as part of the Ganesha Chaturthi festivities on September 19.
