Today, On 5th January, The Supreme Court dismissed a petition challenging state-sponsored ceremonial honours at Ajmer Dargah and the chadar offering to Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti by Prime Minister Modi. Citing it as “infructuous” and “not a justiciable issue,” Court rejected the plea.
The Hindu petitioners on Monday in the Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Idgah dispute argue that the Places of Worship Act does not apply to a disputed structure. They challenge the 1968 compromise and maintain that the suit is maintainable and that evidence needs to be presented. The lawsuit also revisits historical claims about the mosque’s existence. The legal and historical complexities are becoming more evident as the court postpones further discussions.
