SC upholds order barring non-locals from namaz at Taj Mahal
The Supreme Court has dismissed a plea challenging a district magistrate's order barring non-residents in Agra from offering namaz at the Taj Mahal. The petitioner had argued that the order was "illegal and arbitrary". Pointing out that the monument is one of the seven wonders of the world, the court said there are other places where one can offer namaz.
