Telangana High Court grants permission for religious events amidst law and order concerns | Hyderabad News

The Tellangana High Court Thursday Granted Permission to the Sajjadah of Khanqah-e-noria to hold a series of religious events schedulets scheduled for October 2 to 7, 2025, after his representations to the police and other other other unansweeded. The planned events include ‘burdah share’ and ‘Jalsa Faizaan-E-ghouse Aazam’ at Youth sharef Nori Shah and ‘Ziyarat-E-E-Mubarak’ at Masjid-E-Nor in Bandlaguda.

The petitioner, Jamia Ilahiyate Nooria, challenged the ‘refusal to grant permission’, claiming it was a violation of religious rights guaranteed under Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution. The issue was complicated because another party had already secured a permit for the same period.

During the hearing, the Government Pleader for Home argued that granting permission to both the petitioner and another party, who had already secured a permit, would create a “problem of law and order”.

However, Justice N V Shravan Kumar drew on a previous court order from September 3, 2025, which had addressed a similar matter.

The court said both parties are permitted to offer prayers and perform their religious duties separately, as long as they do not disrupt the peace. The court, thereafter, stated that based on a November 2, 2022, order from the Telangana State Wakf Tribunal, the petitioner is also permitted to offer prayers and must “confine only to the extent of offering prayers separately without disturbing or creating any law and order problem.”

The court further emphasised the need for cooperation and warned of strict consequences for any non-compliance: “Further, it is made clear that since respondent No.6 has already been granted permission, he shall cooperate in allowing the petitioner to offer the daily prayers. It is also made clear that if there is any deviation in the implementation of the directions of this Court while conducting events… by either of the parties, respondent Nos. 4 and 5 (Police) are directed to take appropriate action strictly in accordance with law.”

The writ petition was ultimately disposed of, with a clear directive that all pending miscellaneous applications are now closed.
