Mumbai Congress President Bhai Jagtap unconditionally withdrew his petition before the Bombay High Court seeking permission to use Shivaji Park Ground for Indian National Congress's foundation day celebrations between December 22-28, 2021.
The petition was withdrawn once it came up for hearing before a division bench of Justices Amjad Sayed and Abhay Ahuja.
Jagtap had said he was constrained to approach the HC after authorities in Mahrashtra failed to decide his permission request made on October 7, 2021.
Incidentally INC is part of the Maha Vikas Aghadi coalition government in Maharashtra.
INC interim president Sonia Gandhi and former president Rahul Gandhi are likely to be present for public meetings.
Jagtap had said they approached authorities in the Maharashtra government for permission on October 7, 2021, but haven't been granted permission for the same to date.
Jagtap's advocate had mentioned the case before the bench yesterday.
