Shimla: The Himachal Pradesh High Court Monday rejected a plea of yoga guru Baba Ramdev's Swabhiman Trust to permit it to hold "yog shivirs" (yoga camps) in Kangra and Chamba towns.
A division bench of Justice Sanjay Karol and Justice D.C. Chaudhary said the orders passed by the Karnataka High Court and the Gujarat High Court were of no help to the petitioner as these were passed prior to registration of a first information report (FIR) against Ramdev.
The petitioner trust contended that the respondents violated its right to hold camps on the pretext of guidelines issued by the Election Commission.
The court, however, observed that no prima facie case was made to stay the orders of the Election Commission.
