    Summary The High Court at Calcutta quashed the state authorities' blanket rejection of permission for a Ram Navami religious procession, finding it violated the petitioner's fundamental rights under Articles 19(1)(B) and 25 of the Constitution. The court held that authorities must regulate such processions through reasonable conditions (route modification, participant limits, timing restrictions) rather than outright prohibition, and directed the petitioner to resubmit a modified application with limited participants for reconsideration within one day. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
