123 Kolkata: A petitioner from the OBC community in Purulia's Raghunathpur moved Calcutta High Court on Tuesday, alleging that he and his family were prevented from participating in Durga Puja in 2024.
The petitioner submitted that he made several complaints and also approached the Raghunathpur SDPO on Sept 22 last year seeking redress, but to no avail.
The state counsel challenged the claim, saying he had a photograph of the petitioner offering puja in 2024.
Justice Tirthankar Ghosh directed the SDPO to consider all the materials and pass an order in this regard within three weeks.
