Indore (Madhya Pradesh) – The Indore Bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court rejected a public interest litigation (PIL) seeking the removal of a temple located on Yashwant Niwas Road. The court also refused to review its earlier order dismissing the petition and imposed a fine of ₹25,000 on the petitioner.

2.The High Court dismissed the review petition and ordered the petitioner to deposit ₹25,000 in the Indore Legal Aid Services Authority account.
