The Supreme Court of India on Thursday dismissed the request for the use of school grounds for religious festivities. However, the apex court further allowed a "Ram Leela" event, which has been organised for a century in Uttar Pradesh's Tundla, to be continued. 

The bench, while giving the verdict, said that, "Although we don't approve of holding religious festivities in school grounds, this Ramleela has been going on for the past 100 years, and festivities for this year began on September 14," as cited by news agency PTI.
