The Supreme Court today stayed a Bombay High Court order and allowed the Maharashtra government to hold an event at Girgaum Chowpatty beach in Mumbai to kickstart the ‘Make in India Week’ programme.
A bench comprising Justices M Y Eqbal and Arun Mishra allowed the submission of Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for the state said administration does not propose to raise any permanent structure at the beach site.
He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, delegates from 56 countries and several other dignitaries are scheduled to take part in this ‘Make in India Week’ programme.
The high court had on January 28 refused to allow the state to hold the event on the basis of a report of a committee appointed by it in 2005 on what activities and functions can be permitted to be held at the beach.
