SC Dismisses Plea Against PM Modi's Ajmer Sharif 'Chadar' Offering
- •The Supreme Court dismissed a plea seeking to restrain PM Modi from offering a 'chadar' at Ajmer Sharif Dargah.
- •The bench, led by CJI Surya Kant, stated the issue is "not justiciable" and refused to entertain the petition.
- •Petitioners Jitender Singh and Vishnu Gupta challenged the state-sponsored honour for Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti.
- •They argued the practice, initiated by Jawaharlal Nehru, lacks legal basis and cited Chishti's association with foreign invasions.
- •The SC clarified its dismissal won't impact a pending civil suit claiming the dargah was built on a Shiva temple.
Why It Matters: SC rules PM's Ajmer Sharif 'chadar' offering is not a justiciable issue, dismissing the plea.
