The Idgah, one of three in Hubbali, is said to have been traditionally used by local Muslims to offer Ramzan and Bakrid prayers. (Express Photo/Aaron Pereira)The Anjuman-e-Islam has moved the Supreme Court challenging the Karnataka High Court order passed late on Tuesday (August 30) night declining to stay the permission granted by the Municipal Commissioner of Dharwad to Hindu organisations to celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi at the Idgah ground in Hubbali-Dharwad.
Following the High Court order, Hindu organisations set up a Ganesh puja at the ground on August 31.
A single-judge High Court Bench of Justice Ashok Kinagi had declined to provide interim relief to the petitioner Anjuman-e-Islam saying the Supreme Court’s order from a few hours previously to maintain status quo at the Idgah ground in Chamrajpet in Bengaluru did not apply to the Hubbali-Dharwad case. On August 30 evening, a three-judge Bench of the Supreme Court had said no to Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations at the Idgah grounds in Bengaluru.
In its late night order, the High Court said there was no title dispute in Hubbali-Dharwad, it was clear that the property belonged to Dharwad Municipality, and the petitioner was a licensee who had permission for namaz only on certain specified days of the year.
