Supreme Court to review plea against QR code directive for eateries during Kanwar Yatra.

The Supreme Court has asked the Uttar Pradesh government to respond to a plea challenging a directive requiring QR codes on eateries along the Kanwar Yatra route, revealing owners' names and identities. This year’s directive is seen as a circumvention of last year’s SC stay on similar orders mandating the display of owners' and staff details. Petitioners argue the QR code requirement violates privacy rights. The court has scheduled a hearing for July 22.
