Archies' plea dismissed

NEW DELHI, FEB. 12. In a major boost to the Shiv Sena and some of the Sangh Parivar outfits for their stand against Valentine's Day, the Delhi High Court today dismissed an application by the card and gift company, Archies, seeking to restrain them from demonstrating before its outlets. The court, dismissing an application by the company seeking direction to the police to provide protection, said it had found ``no merits'' for direction on the application.

Meanwhile, the Sena today announced that it would prevent the sale of Valentine cards and block celebrations in the capital on February 14 through ``peaceful means''.
