Bombay High Court and other subordinate court will remain close today to mourn the demise of legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar after the Maharashtra Government on Sunday has declared a public holiday.
‘’To pay homage to the great singer, a public holiday is being declared in the state on Monday 7th February using the powers vested in the Government of Maharashtra under Section 25 of the Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881 (Act 26 of 1981),’’ said the government gazette notification.
The state government’s announcement came hours after the Centre announced a two day national mourning in memory of Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar. As a mark of respect, the national flag will fly at half-mast for two days.
