KALABURAGI : The dates for the route march in Chittapur town by RSS and other organisations are likely to be fixed, with the Kalaburagi district administration due to submit its report to the Kalaburagi Bench of the Karnataka High Court on Thursday.
It may be recalled that Kalaburagi HC Bench Justice MG Shukure Kamal had on November 7 directed the district administration to fix dates for different organisations, including the RSS, which have applied for holding a Route March in Chittapur, and submit details to the court on November 13.
If the administration fails to fix the dates, the court itself would fix them. Following this, the administration has fixed the dates for the march for RSS and other organisations.
Top district officials declined to give details, stating that the matter is before court, and the district administration would abide by the decision of the court, which would be known on Thursday.
The administration might request the court to impose certain conditions on the organisations, including giving details of the number of volunteers participating in the march, the roads on which the march will be permitted by the taluk administration and maintaining peace and law and order during the march.
Sources told TNIE, on condition of anonymity, that the district administration would fix the dates for different organisations. Though RSS has shown its inclination to conduct the march on November 16 in Chittapur, the administration is not in favour of this date for the RSS or any organisation as many marriages are being held on that day, and allowing a route march might invite a law and order problem.
On October 24, the HC Bench had asked the RSS whether it was ready to conduct a route march on November 2 in Chittapur, and when RSS showed its readiness, the court directed it to submit a fresh application before the district administration.
It asked the district administration to conduct a peace committee meeting on October 28, and present a report on October 30. The meeting could not come to a conclusion as 11 organisations submitted applications seeking permission to conduct a route march on the same day and time as the RSS.
The administration submitted this before court, which asked the Advocate-General to chair a peace committee meeting in Bengaluru on November 5. As the AG did not mention the dates fixed for the march, the court asked the district administration to fix the dates and present a report on November 13.
