Krishna Janmashtami 2025 will be celebrated on August 16 in Mumbai with vibrant festivities and Dahi Handi events, but it is not an official school holiday in Maharashtra. Most schools will remain open unless individual institutions choose to declare a holiday.
Krishna Janmashtami, the festival of the birth of Lord Krishna, will be celebrated on Saturday, August 16, 2025.
In Maharashtra, and especially in the “city of dreams” Mumbai, the festival is marked with great enthusiasm.
The city sees a large number of people participating in colourful decorations, devotional gatherings, and Dahi Handi events.
Is Krishna Janmashtami a school holiday or not?
However, it is to be noted that despite the festive atmosphere, Krishna Janmashtami is not a designated school holiday in the list of official holidays in Maharashtra for 2025.

Schools are expected to follow their regular academic schedule until individual institutions decide to declare a holiday on their own.
This means students in most schools will still have to attend classes.
Residents and students can enjoy the festivities even after school hours, with many Dahi Handi events and cultural programs taking place all day long.

Mumbai Court Clerk Arrested for Rs 15 Lakh Bribe; Additional Sessions Judge Named as Wanted Accused
The Mumbai ACB has exposed a major bribery scandal involving a Mazgaon court clerk and Additional Sessions Judge Ejazuddin Qazi. The clerk was caught accepting a Rs 15 lakh bribe for a favorable land-dispute verdict, while the judge—named in the FIR—remains absconding.
The Mumbai Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has uncovered a major bribery scandal involving the City Civil and Sessions Court in Mazgaon.
A court clerk has been arrested for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 15 lakh from an Additional Sessions Judge in exchange for a favorable verdict in a land dispute case. The accused clerk identified as 40-year-old Chandrakant Vasudev was caught red-handed accepting the agreed bribe amount on Tuesday.
Shockingly 55-year-old Additional Sessions Judge Ejazuddin Salauddin Qazi is also named in the FIR and is currently absconding. This is one of the rare cases in recent years where a serving judge has been charged under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
According to ACB officials the complainant’s wife filed a petition in the Bombay High Court in 2015 alleging that another group had forcibly occupied land owned by the company in Bandra. Since the property’s valuation was less than Rs 10 crore the High Court stayed third-party rights in 2016 and later transferred the commercial dispute to the Mazgaon City Civil and Sessions Court in March 2024.
Most importantly the case was listed before Court No. 14 where Judge Kazi presided. On September 9, 2025 the complainant’s office colleague received a call from Vasudev who was present in the courtroom. A meeting later took place at a cafe in Chembur on September 12 where Vasudev allegedly demanded Rs 25 lakh (Rs 15 lakh for Judge Kazi and Rs 10 lakh for himself) to secure a favorable order.
After negotiations the clerk agreed to a lower amount of Rs 15 lakh. Vasudev allegedly made repeated calls demanding payment prompting the complainant to contact the ACB on November 10th and file a formal complaint.
After verifying the allegations ACB officials laid a trap on November 11th. Top Stories Vasudev arrived to receive the Rs 15 lakh bribe and was immediately arrested. Investigators reported that immediately after receiving the money Vasudev called Judge Kazi to inform him that the payment had been received.
The judge reportedly acknowledged this evidence that proved his involvement. It’s worth noting that the ACB has now filed a case against both Vasudev and Judge Kazi under relevant sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act. Vasudev has been remanded to five days’ police custody while Judge Kazi remains at large.
ACB officials say further investigation is underway to trace their whereabouts and unearth the entire bribery network.
