AIMIM: Withdraws Plea, to Seek Police Nod Afresh

BENGALURU:
The High Court on Thursday dismissed as withdrawn the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen’s (AIMIM) petition challenging the city police’s decision to withdraw permission for holding a convention in the city on Sunday.

In a memo filed before Justice Abdul Nazeer, AIMIM said it has decided to  withdraw the petition but would file a fresh application before the city police seeking permission to hold the meeting on January 20 or 21 at Chota Maidan in Shivajinagar.

Earlier, Advocate General Ravi Varma Kumar had said that “an appropriate application would be considered expeditiously”. The convention is to be addressed by AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi .

Commercial Street police had withdrawn the permission given to AIMIM to organise the convention citing difficulty in providing security cover.
