Supreme Court puts interim stay on name plate case
The Supreme Court has put an interim stay on the order regarding name plates on restaurants and shops on the Kanwar Yatra route. The Supreme Court said that food vendors or shop owners and employees should not be forced to write their names. The Supreme Court has fixed the next hearing of the case for July 26.
A list of variety of food should be displayed outside the shops
During the hearing, the Supreme Court questioned whether the Kanwariyas expect that their food is being prepared by a particular category of owners or people? The bench said, ‘We deem it appropriate to put an interim stay on the government’s order. Restaurants, hotels or food vendors are required to display a list of the variety of food they serve, but they should not be forced to display the names of the owners or the employees working there.’
