New Delhi: The Indian Supreme Court has allowed Hindu prayers from sunrise to sunset on Basant Panchami on Friday at the disputed Bhojshala-Kamal Maula Mosque in Madhya Pradesh\u2019s Dhar district, while permitting Muslims to offer namaz from 1 pm to 3 pm on the day.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the top court also directed that a list of persons from the Muslim community coming for namaz be given to the district administration.<\/p>\n

Hindu and Muslim groups have sought nod for religious activities at the Bhojshala complex on January 23, a Friday when Saraswati Puja will also be held on the occasion of Basant Panchami.<\/p>\n

A bench comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi made an appeal to both sides to observe mutual respect and cooperate with the State and district administration for maintenance of law and order.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdditional Solicitors General (ASG) as well as Advocate General have suggested that, after knowing that how many persons belonging to Muslim community are likely to come for namaz between 1 to 3 pm, an exclusive and separate space within the same compound\/ premises shall be made available, so that the namaz can be performed at the prescribed time.<\/p>\n

\u201cSimilarly, a separate space, as per the past practice, shall be made available to the Hindu community to hold the traditional ceremonies on the occasion of Basant Panchami,\u201d the bench said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
