The Supreme Court on Monday issued an interim order, paused a Uttar Pradesh government order that asked shopkeepers along the Kanwar Yatra route to display their names. The court said that shop owners will only display the kind of food served in their eateries.
The Supreme Court was on Monday told that the Uttar Pradesh government's order asking shopkeepers along the Kanwar Yatra route to display their names is "exclusion by identity". The court was also informed that the order was "camouflaged" and that it amounted to "economic death" of small-scale shopkeepers.
A bench of Justices Hrishikesh Roy and SVN Bhatti heard the case filed by an NGO, the Association of Protection of Civil Rights, challenging the Uttar Pradesh government's order.
CU Singh, an advocate appearing for the NGO, said the order had no statutory backing and that it did not serve any purpose. "It has never been done before. It has no statutory backing. No law gives Police Commissioner the power to do it. The directive on every tea stall and other roadside shops giving names of employees and owners does not serve any purpose," Singh said.
