The Bombay High Court on Wednesday (September 3, 2025) directed activist Manoj Jarange Patil and organisers of the Maratha reservation protest in Mumbai to file affidavits responding to allegations of large-scale damage to public property during the five-day agitation.
A Division Bench of Acting Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and Justice Aarti Sathe were informed by Mr. Jarange’s advocates that the agitation had been “called off after the issue was resolved on September 2 evening”. While the Bench noted the submission, it said Mr. Jarange and other organisers must still respond to the serious charges raised in multiple petitions.
