NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday (31st Jan) denied a request to allow the “Urs” festival to take place from February 1 to February 3 at a demolished dargah in Gujarat’s Gir Somnath district. A bench consisting of Justices B R Gavai and Augustine George Masih heard arguments, including submissions from Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing the Gujarat government. Mehta explained that all illegal constructions on the land, including temples, had been demolished.
