The Uttar Pradesh cabinet on Friday gave its nod to an ordinance on recovery of losses due to damage to state and private properties during political processions.
The move comes in the backdrop of the Allahabad High Court's March 9 order, directing the state government to remove the posters put up on roadsides with details of those accused of vandalism during anti-CAA protests in Lucknow.
The Uttar Pradesh government moved the top court challenging the high court order but was told that there is "no law" which backs its action of putting up the posters.
Friday's decision was taken at a cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
It is not immediately clear whether this is with retrospective effect.
"The cabinet has approved UP Recovery of Damage to Public Properties Ordinance-2020 for recovery of losses of government and private properties during political processions, illegal agitations," state minister Suresh Kumar Khanna told reporters after the meeting.
When asked about the rules and regulations regarding this, the minister said, "Everything will be clear in the rules and regulations being framed."
