New Delhi. Delhi High Court on Monday refused permission to offer Namaz during the month of Ramzan and Eid at the Akhundji Masjid site in Mehrauli. This mosque has now been demolished. A bench headed by Acting Chief Justice Manmohan directed that the appeal of Muntzamia Committee Madrasa Behrul Uloom and Graveyard be clubbed with the related case listed for hearing on May 7.
The committee has challenged the order of the single bench, in which the petition requesting permission to enter the mosque site for Ramadan and Eid prayers was rejected. The bench said that the single bench passed the order on the basis of another order denying permission for prayers on the occasion of Shab-e-Barat and another appeal challenging this order will be heard in May.
The petitioner’s counsel urged the court to pass an order on the appeal, saying that by then the period of Ramzan as well as Eid would be over, but the bench said no interim order should be passed in the case at this stage. Could, especially when the single judge had refused to grant relief about a month ago.

The High Court commented that the appeal will be heard along with that appeal. The single bench order in this case came on March 11. The court said that this will be heard along with that appeal on May 7. There cannot be any interim order. The counsel for the Appellant said that the Committee was not trying to gain any ‘back door entry’. Relying on the Babri Masjid case and the Gyanvapi case, he said constitutional courts have previously respected religious beliefs and allowed prayers pending legal disputes regarding religious places.
Lawyers argued that if Eid prayers are allowed for an hour, heaven will not fall… A message will be sent to the people of India, especially Muslims, that the courts are equally zealous to protect the rights of Muslims. Are. On March 11, the single bench had refused to allow prayers during the month of Ramzan at the ‘Akhundji Masjid’, while noting that the High Court had earlier allowed the entry of devotees at the venue on the occasion of Shab-e-Barat. Had refused and said that there was no justification for adopting a different approach.
It is noteworthy that the Akhundji Mosque, which is considered to be more than 600 years old, as well as the Bahrul Uloom Madrasa there, were declared illegal structures in Sanjay Forest and were demolished by the Delhi Development Authority on January 30.
