SC junks plea seeking permission for Urs on demolished dargah land in Gir Somnath

SG Tushar Mehta told the court that a similar request, received from Hindus for religious rituals on the said land, was turned down.

The Supreme Court on Friday refused to allow the Muslim festival of Urs to be conducted at the site of a demolished dargah in Gujarat’s Gir Somnath district after being convinced that the dargah stood on government land and was demolished as part of an extensive drive by the state against encroachment, which also included Hindu temples.
