💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court has permitted the Jharkhand government to temporarily cut power supply on Ram Navami procession routes to prevent electrocutions, following a 2000 incident where 28 people were electrocuted. The court modified a high court order that barred power cuts during religious events, stating that such cuts have been a preventive measure for over two decades. The state government was asked to ensure minimal duration of power cuts and maintain emergency power supply to hospitals.
