New Delhi, Nov 4 (UNI) The Supreme Court on Friday in its interim order said no coercive action should be taken against Maharashtra retailers for not complying with state government's direction to display names of shops and other business establishments in Marathi.
Members of the Federation of Retail Traders Welfare Association had sought the apex court's relief in the matter regarding their signages in the Devanagri script that clashed with the civic body's rule.
A two-judge bench of the Supreme Court, headed by Justice KM Joseph and also comprising Justice Hrishikesh Roy passed the interim order after hearing a petition, filed by the members of association, challenging the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai's rule mandating compulsory signboards in Marathi in the city.
