The Supreme Court of India(SCI)on Wednesday Aug 24,2016 refused to allow size of human pyramids beyond 20-feet for Dahi Handi festival in Maharashtra.
The plea seeking to relax the cap of 20-feet height of the human pyramid was filed by Mumbai-based Jai Jawan Krida Mandal Govinda Pathak.
The Supreme Court had earlier refused to relax conditions put by the Bombay High Court like barring youths below 18 years of age from participating in 'Dahi- Handi' ritual of the Janmashtami festival in Maharashtra and capping the height of the human pyramid at 20 feet.
The bench had, however, suspended the operation of two directions passed by the High Court to regulate the 'Dahi-Handi' festival.
