The court indicated that by then, the fate of review petitions pending with SC on the Sabarimala verdict will also be clear.HC’s notice came on a plea by three women law students, who complained that the dargah does not permit entry of women into the shrine. In their plea, the students claimed that there is a notice put up outside the ‘dargah’ — a shrine built over the grave of a religious figure — clearly stating in English and Hindi that women are not allowed inside.The law students, in their petition, submitted that they made several representations to authorities, including the Delhi Police, but no response was received and hence, they moved the high court. The PIL wants HC to direct the Centre, Delhi government, the cops and the trust managing the shrine, to frame guidelines for ensuring entry of women into the dargah and declare the bar on entry of women as “unconstitutional”.The petitioners, who are law students from Pune, contended that when the Supreme Court has allowed women of all ages into the Sabarimala shrine in Kerala, women in the heart of the national capital were being discriminated against. According to the petition, the law students came to know of the bar on women’s entry at the dargah when they visited the shrine on November 27 to offer prayers.“Nizamuddin Dargah, by its very nature, is a public place and prohibition of entry of anyone in a public place on the basis of gender is contrary to the framework of the Constitution of India ,” the PIL stated.It also said that various other shrines like the Ajmer Sharif Dargah and the Haji Ali Dargah do not prohibit entry of women. NEW DELHI: Delhi high court on Monday agreed to examine a PIL that sought entry of women into the sanctum sanctorum of the Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia Dargah in the capital, a shrine widely revered and one that attracts lakhs of followers every year.The high court admitted the PIL and sought the response of the central government, AAP government and Delhi Police asking them to clarify their stand on the matter, where the petitioners have equated their cause with that of the Sabarimala verdict by the Supreme Court.Apart from the Centre, state government and Delhi Police, a bench of Chief Justice Rajendra Menon and Justice V K Rao also issued notice to the trust managing the ‘dargah’ (shrine) and sought their stand on the plea by April 11, 2019.
