The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on December 24, 2018, approached the Supreme Court against a Calcutta High Court order not allowing its Rath Yatra in West Bengal.

The Division Bench’s order came after hearing an appeal moved by the West Bengal government, challenging the order passed by the single judge on December 20, 2018.
