Revocation clause in the permission letter of 25 April 2011; directions under Section 65 of the Delhi Police Act, 1978 (as stated by the Home Minister)

According to the police account recorded by the Supreme Court, the order withdrawing permission for the yoga camp was passed at 9:30 pm on 4 June and police reached the ground after 10:30 pm to inform the organisers. The judgment's narrative of events records that at about 11:30 pm a police team led by the Joint Commissioner of Police told Ramdev that the permission was withdrawn and that he would be detained. The Home Minister said a decision had been taken in advance that Ramdev would not be allowed to fast at Ramlila ground and, if he persisted, would be directed to leave Delhi. [1][2]
