A plea was filed in the Supreme Court on Sunday, challenging the Uttar Pradesh government's order mandating shop owners to divulge their names and details in front of shops along the Kanwar Yatra route, reported Bar and Bench.
A bench led by Justice Hrishikesh Roy will hear the plea on Monday, July 22.
The order was initially given in Muzaffarnagar, after which the the Uttar Pradesh government on Friday extended the controversial order across the state. Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said similar instructions are already in place in his state as well.
