In an interesting turn of events, the Chhattisgarh High Court has allowed a 55-year-old Sanjay Dutt fan to celebrate the actor’s 687th birthday at a private venue after the authorities denied permission.
Taking note of the man’s undertaking to hold the event at a private club away from the city and strictly comply with all applicable laws, Justice Amitendra Kishore Prasad allowed the celebration subject to conditions aimed at maintaining law and order, preventing noise pollution, and ensuring there was no obstruction to public convenience.
“Accordingly, the petitioner is permitted to hold the proposed birthday celebration at the aforesaid venue, subject to the condition that the petitioner shall strictly comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and any conditions imposed by the competent authorities for maintaining public peace and tranquillity,” the July 28 order read.
The high court was hearing the plea of one Gurudev Awasthi, a 55-year-old man, seeking directions to organise the birthday celebration of actor Sanjay Dutt on July 29. He claimed that he had submitted an application before the authorities seeking permission to celebrate the birthday of the renowned actor, Sanjay Dutt, on July 29. However, the same was rejected by an order of July 21 passed by the sub-divisional magistrate of Bilaspur.
