Chief Justice of India N.V. Ramana on Monday agreed to immediately list for hearing a petition to initiate contempt action against Haryana authorities for not reining in ‘hooligans’ who have created an ‘atmosphere of communal hatred and terror’ for worshippers offering Friday prayers in Gurugram.
The petition, filed by former Rajya Sabha MP Mohammad Adeeb, was mentioned by senior advocate Indira Jaising for urgent hearing.Adeeb has filed a contempt plea seeking action against Haryana's chief secretary and the director general of police for not complying with the earlier judgment passed on Tehseen Poonawala's plea. There have been alleged incidents of disruptions in offering "namaz" in open designated places in Gurugram.
The issue needs to be resolved by the hon’ble Court .
