Bengaluru, August 31: It's a major win moment for Hindus as the Karnataka High Court dismissed the plea of a Muslim body, and allowed Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations at Hubballi's Idgah Maidan.
The Hubballi-Dharwad Municipal Corporation had earlier decided to allow installation of Ganapati idol for three days at the site.
"The House committee recommended allowing Ganeshotsav, after gathering opinions and consulting legal experts. It received 28 memoranda in favour of allowing Ganeshotsav and 11 against it," Mayor Iresh Anchatgeri had said on Monday. The decision was taken despite opposition by Congress members of the House panel.
