New Delhi: India’s Supreme Court has ruled that Hindu religious event (Ganesh Chaturthi) will not be held at Eidgah Maidan a ground where Muslims hold congregational prayers in Bengaluru city.

A three-judge bench of the top court ordered “status quo” on a petition filed by Karnataka Wakf Board and Central Muslim Association of Karnataka challenging an order of August 26 of the high court allowing the state government to organise the religious function on August 30-31, Indian media reported. The SC said that for 200 years there was no such function organised and the land in question was stated to belong to the Wakf Board and ordered that the status quo be maintained. The court said other issues raised in the petition will be decided by the high court and disposed the appeal off.
