The Supreme Court on Friday rejected the petition challenging the Bombay High Court order which declined the plea against changing the names of Aurangabad and Osmanabad cities in Maharashtra.
A bench of Justices Hrishikesh Roy and SVN Bhatti upheld the Bombay High Court order denying the petitioners’ demand challenging the renaming of two cities.
The petitioner has challenged the validity of notifications issued by the Government of Maharashtra changing the name of Aurangabad and Osmanabad cities to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and Dharashiv, respectively.
The top court said there will be differences among different people in such matters and
some will agree while some disagree with changes to the name of the cities.
