The Supreme Court Thursday declined permission for carrying out Muharram procession across the country and asked Lucknow-based petitioner to ♒move before the Allahabad High Court 🎃with his plea.

The apex court said how can it pass a general order 🎉for the whole country.

A bench comprising Chief Justice S A Bobde and Justices A S Bopanna and V Ramasubramanian said it would lead to chaos and targeting of a parti🔜cular community.

“You are asking for a general order and then if we allow this there wil♑l be chaos. Particular community will be targetted for spreading Covid. We don't want t🤡hat. We as a court cannot risk the health of all the people,” the bench, which heard the matter through video conferencing, said.

The bench allowed the petitioner 🐓to withdraw the petition with the liberty to approach the high court withꦦ limited prayer of holding procession in Lucknow.

The apex court was hearing a PIL filed by Shiౠa leaꦗder Syed Kalbe Jawad.
