Event Summary

The India — Supreme Court of India dismissed a plea filed by Jitendra Singh (politician) and Hindu Sena, members of a Hindu outfit, seeking to restrain Prime Minister Narendra Modi from offering a ceremonial 'chadar' at the Ajmer Sharif Dargah. The court stated that the issue is not justiciable and refused to entertain the plea. The petitioners challenged the continued practice, initiated by Jawaharlal Nehru in 1947, of state-sponsored ceremonial honor and symbolic recognition to Islamic scholar Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti and the Ajmer Dargah by the government of India. A civil suit regarding the dargah's origin is pending in a trial court, and the India — Supreme Court of India clarified its dismissal would not affect that suit.
