A bench of Acting Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and Justice Aarti Sathe was hearing a plea challenging the permission granted for protests at Azad Maidan.

The court adjourned the matter to 1 pm on Wednesday, after senior advocate Satish Maneshinde, appearing for the organisers, urged the court to adjourn the hearing so that his client and the associates can continue the dialogue with a sub-committee consisting of state ministers Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil, Manikrao Kokate, and Shivendra Raje Bhosale.
