Har cheez ki g*nd mn ungal dena hamari courts ka kam hy. Bloody stupid decisions. Just to show their bloody ego-ism. Nonsense and pathetic…
very true really bad decision.
where in the world do you see a drive in cinema in a park, No where. Special parking structures are built in a quieter place and at a large scale. Decision is right.
Drive in’s are only bad if they are conducted in Parks. They should instead move it to some place bigger, quieter and better not be a part. Where in the world do you see a drive in cinema in a park.
Correct decision by court …. favouring a common man …. those who come to park for healthy activities.
Or Kahi court ki ungal jati Nahi, bus yahi jaga rehgai thee
