The Bombay High Court refused to issue any restraining orders against Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange-Patilβs planned march to Mumbai. This decision was made after the court found the petitioner's case relied only on past experiences, with no current situation demanding intervention. Jarange-Patil has been on an indefinite hunger strike in Jalna district since August 29, demanding reservations for the Maratha community. A division bench heard a petition from Nilesh Dhanukar, who feared chaos ahead of the Ganesh festival starting on September 14. The court stated it cannot stop citizens from protesting in a democratic setup. β
