The Delhi High Court on Thursday (March 19, 2026) directed the city police and administration to ensure a conducive atmosphere for peaceful, dignified observance of Id in Uttam Nagar where a 26-year-old man was killed in a clash on Holi.
A bench of Chief Justice D.K. Upadhyaya and Justice Tejas Karia said the police bandobast in the area should be such that it instils a sense of safety and security in all.
“We thus direct the police and civil administration of the area to take all required action, permissible under law, to ensure that the situation does not take any ugly turn and an atmosphere is created conducive to peaceful and dignified observance of the festival of Eid, which is likely to be tomorrow,” the court ordered.
“Police bandobast to be made should be such as will instil a sense of safety and security in all. The authority shall also ensure that no one from any section of the society is permitted to play any kind of mischief, having the potential of creating any untoward situation,” it further said.
It clarified that the police arrangements in the area shall continue till the upcoming festival of Ram Navami.
