Allahabad High Court’s Lucknow Bench dismissed the plea seeking directions to open 20 rooms of the Taj Mahal on Thursday.
The petition was filed by the in charge of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s media desk in Ayodhya to check for the possible presence of Hindu idols or scriptures in the 20 locked rooms.
The two-judge bench of Justices DK Upadhyay and Subhash Vidyarthi rebuked the petitioner saying “Tomorrow you will come and ask us to go to chambers of honorable judges… Please, do not make a mockery of the PIL [public interest litigation] system.”
