New Delhi: The Delhi
High Court Wednesday sought a status report from the Delhi Police
commissioner on a public interest litigation (PIL) seeking a ban
on a Islamist website as it allegedly threatened communal harmony
in India.
A bench of Acting Chief Justice A.K. Sikri and Justice Rajiv Shah
Endlaw directed police chief to submit the report on website
www.shariah4hind.com within a week.
The PIL filed by Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga, president of the Bhagat
Singh Kranti Sena, alleged that the website brings constitution of
India and its secular feature into disrespect and disrepute.
"Extreme Islamic groups are planning to organise a huge rally in
Delhi propagating Islamisation of Indian subcontinent and
enforcement of Shariah law all over India and hence this may
result into communal clashes and disruption of public peace and
order in State of Delhi and other parts of India," the petition
said.
It sought the court's direction for the central and Delhi
government to conduct detailed inquiry into the claims of
Shariah4hind that a public rally shall be organized in Delhi March
3.
Appearing for Bagga, advocate Vikas Padora also sought the central
and state governments be directed to include the group into the
list of banned organisations, "as the group works against the
integrity and sovereignty of India".
