SECULARIZATION
OF FOOD SHOP
SARASIJ MAJUMDER
THE LEGAL ANGLE & WHAT HAPPENED:
The Supreme Court heard the case of the Uttar Pradesh
government's order (?) to hotels on the Kanwar Yatra route to display the names
of their owners. After the
hearing, the court has stayed the decision of the UP administration.
The court sent notice to three state governments.
The
court said that shopkeepers do not need to reveal their identity. Shop owners do not need to
reveal their names. Shopkeepers only need to tell the type of food. This
means that it is only required to be written on the shop whether non-vegetarian
food is available there or vegetarian food. The court has issued notice to the
governments of Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Madhya Pradesh in this matter.
TMC MP Mrs. Mahua Moitra filed a petition against UP Government’s order:-
The petition was filed by the NGO --Association of
Protection of Civil Rights. Trinamool Congress MP Mrs. Mahua Moitra has also filed a petition against
the order, which has been listed for hearing now. A bench of Justice Hrishikesh
Rai and Justice SVN Bhatti heard the case.
Police
strictly enforcing orders: Petitioner.
The Supreme Court asked whether it was a press statement or
a formal order that these should be displayed. The counsel for the petitioners
replied that first there was a press statement and then there was outrage among
the people and they say it is voluntary but they are strictly enforcing it.
The council said there is no formal order but the police are
taking strict action. Senior
advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, appearing for the petitioner, said it is a
pseudo-order.
FOR MY UNDERSTANDING:
Is there a difference between “ORDER” and “PSEUDO ORDER” legally? Are there
different legal provisions?? Can somebody enlighten me??
Senior advocate CU Singh, representing one of the
petitioners, said, "Most of the people are very poor vegetable and tea
shop owners, and being subjected to such economic boycott will lead to their
economic death. Shopkeepers have faced bulldozer action for not
complying."
The Supreme Court told Singhvi that we should not describe
the situation in such a way that what is on the ground is exaggerated. These
orders also have dimensions of safety and hygiene.
Singhvi says that Kanwar Yatras have been happening for
decades and people of all religions including Muslims, Christians, and
Buddhists help them on their way. Now you are boycotting a particular
religion."
What argument did Abhishek Manu Singhvi give?
Abhishek Manu Singhvi further said, "There are many
pure vegetarian restaurants which are run by Hindus and they may also have
Muslim staff, can I say that I will not go there and eat because the food is
touched by Muslims or Dalits in some way or the other?
Singhvi
says that the directive says "swechchha se" (willingly) but where is
the willingness?
Uproar after the Muzaffarnagar administration's order:
After the Muzaffarnagar police directed all eateries on the
Kanwar Yatra route to display the names of their owners, the Uttar Pradesh
government on Friday extended it to the entire state. Earlier this week, the
Muzaffarnagar police issued an order that shopkeepers on the Kanwar Yatra route
must put up nameplates on their shops so that Kanwariyas know the name of the
shopkeeper.
MY QUESTION TO ME-LORD:--
1.0
Let me assume that I own a HOTEL along the HOLY route.
2.0
I am within my rights to advertise the name of my shop, &Ownership. So, I
put a Sign Board.
3.0
I being a HINDU, put an “OM” symbol on
the board.
4.0
I also put an IDOL of Lord Ganesh, & Mata Laxmi inside the shop, and
worship , as I think that will bring prosperity.
5.0
I also put a MUSIC SYSTEM inside my shop, and play the HANUMAN CHALISA or RAM
DHUN all the time—which I think auspicious.
NOW—ME-LORD, CAN I DO ALL ABOVE AT MY
FREE WILL?? WILL ME-LORD STOP ME FROM DOING ALL ABOVE?? WILL I BE VIOLATING ANY RULE, IF I DO ABOVE AT FREE WILL???
SOURCE OF INFORMATION:-- NEWSPAPERS
DECLARATION, and DISCLAIMER:-- I posted the BLOG, and asked
the above questions in GOOD FAITH under my rights to ask, and without any
MOTIVE. It may also be noted that people
of a particular faith need “SPECIFIC” certification—before
their consumption.
