Supreme Court refuses to lift ban on Mayawati's memorials
By ANI

NEW DELHI - The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to rescind the ban on
the construction of Dalit memorial parks and statues in Lucknow,
delivering a major setback to the Mayawati Government.
The apex court however, asked the Allahabad High Court to give its
judgement on all pending cases against Mayawati within four months and
permitted the State Government to continue with maintenance related
works.
A two-judge bench comprising Justices J M Panchal and A K Patnaik said
this would include removal of debris and cleaning of parks and
memorials.
Mayawati has been accused of using taxpayers' money to build these
parks in memory of Dalit icons, including herself.
Some cases are being heard by the Allahabad High Court.
Mayawati had asked that all cases be clubbed together and heard in the
Supreme Court.
The apex court had earlier reserved its order on all construction and
maintenance activities at these sites. (ANI)
