In the lack of any affidavit clarifying its stand on the issue by the Centre and the Delhi Police as directed by the court earlier, the Delhi High Court today permitted upto 50 persons to offer namaz 5 times a day in Bangley Wali Masjid of Nizamuddin Markaz in Delhi, which was shut since Mar 23 last year due to several FIRs against a Tablighi Jamat congregation amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
The order has been passed by a Single Judge bench of Justice Mukta Gupta on a plea moved by the Delhi Waqf Board seeking permission for performance of prayers during the month of Ramdan.
The Delhi High Court sought a clarification from the Centre whether its order banning all kinds of religious activities and big public gatherings is being uniformly enforced or not. This came during the hearing of a matter related to the refusal of permission to open the Nizamuddin Markaz building for public Namaz during Ramzan.
