IndiaA court has ruled against California Governor Gavin Newsom's order to recognize Diwali as a holiday, meaning there will be no official Diwali holiday in California this year. The law previously allowed eligible state employees to take paid leave for Diwali but did not mandate it for all workers. Public schools and community colleges were given the choice to close for the festival, but this decision does not impose a universal holiday. The ruling indicates that the governor's initiative to formally acknowledge Diwali as a holiday was overturned by the court.
