Three women law students had filed a Public Interest Litigation that the dargah of the Sufi seer, Khawja Nizamuddin Auliya, does not permit entry of women.Counsel for the petitioners submitted that a signboard outside the dargah clearly indicates in English and Hindi that women are not allowed inside.
A division bench of Chief Justice Rajendra Menon and Justice V K Rao, after hearing the petition, issued notice to the Union of India, Delhi Government and the trust managing the dargah and sought their response on April 11, next year.(UNI)
