The Bombay high court on Thursday said it would pronounce its verdict on a petition filed by a women’s group, challenging ban on the entry of women inside the sanctum sanctorum of Haji Ali dargah in the city, on June 28.
A Division Bench of Justices VM Kanade and Revati Mohite- Dhere asked the petitioner and trust officials to submit orders, if any, passed by the Supreme Court and the Bombay high court in similar places, including Sabrimala and Shanisingnapur temples, where entry of woman had been banned.
The Bench said it would study the cases and pass an order accordingly. The court has reserved its judgement on the plea filed by two women, Zakia Soman and Noorjehan Niaz, challenging the ban on women’s entry in the sanctum sanctorum of the
dargah.
