Allahabad HC: No Embargo on Religious Functions in Private Premises
•Allahabad High Court reiterates that prayers and religious functions in private premises cannot be restricted.
•The court previously criticized Sambhal SP and Collector for citing 'law and order' to limit worshippers at a mosque.
•A two-judge bench clarified that while a structure was not a mosque as of date, prayers offered there earlier should not be obstructed.
•The ruling came after a petition by Munazir Khan, who alleged restrictions on Ramzan prayers at his premises.
•The court emphasized India's diversity and religious freedom under Article 25 of the Constitution, stating no permission is needed for private religious gatherings.
