New Delhi, Jan. 6 -- The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a plea to restrain the Government of India and the Prime Minister from offering a ceremonial chadar (cloth) at the tomb of Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Hasan Chisti during the annual Urs at the Ajmer Sharif Dargah, holding that the plea was "not justiciable". "In our opinion, the issues raised in this petition are not justiciable. The petition is therefore dismissed," a bench comprising Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi said, bringing the matter to a close after a brief hearing. The plea was filed by Jitender Singh, president of the Vishwa Vedic Sanatan Sangh, through advocate Barun Kumar Sinha, in the nature of a public interest litigation. It sought directions prohibiting the Union government, including the Prime Minister, from offering ceremonial homage such as a chadar at the Ajmer Dargah, contending that such acts were contrary to the will of the people, national sovereignty and the ethos of the Constitution. During the hearing, Sinha submitted that the petition questioned what it described as "state-sponsored ceremonial honours, official patronage and symbolic recognition" extended to Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti....
