NEW DELHI:

"Please tell the authorities to keep a watch and keep a track of what is happening," the bench comprising chief justice Sanjiv Khanna and justice Sanjay Kumar told additional solicitor general KM Nataraj, who was representing Uttar Pradesh.

The "Dharam Sansad" by the Yati Narsinghanand Foundation was proposed to be held between December 17 and December 21 at the Shiv-Shakti temple complex in Ghaziabad's Dasna.

"The nodal officers must keep a watch on what is happening," the bench said, asking to ensure there was no violation of the apex court's previous orders.
