The Maharashtra administration will implement the Bombay high court directives on Manoj Jarange-led Maratha quota protest, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said .
He also stated that the government is deliberating on finding legal options to resolve the standoff over the Maratha quota demand.
Fadnavis’s assurance comes shortly after the HC noted that Jarange and his supporters have prima facie violated the conditions.
A bench of Justices Ravindra Ghuge and Gautam Ankhad stated that since the protesters do not have valid permission to continue the stir, it expects the state government to follow the due procedure laid down in law by initiating appropriate steps.
The government shall also ensure no more protesters, as claimed by Jarange, shall enter the city henceforth, it said.
“The government will implement the high court directives,” Fadnavis told reporters in Pune and rejected the charge that law and order had collapsed.
