Mumbai: The Supreme Court of India has granted protection to the Hazrat Syed Bale Shah Pir Dargah located in Mira Bhayandar, Mumbai and has issued an order to impose a stay on the demolition process for four weeks. Along with this, the Supreme Court has issued a notice to the Maharashtra government in this matter and sought a response. The Maharashtra government will file a reply in the court in this regard within four weeks, only after which a decision will be taken on the demolition process of the dargah.
State Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bankole had issued an order for the demolition of the dargah by May 20 in the House and issued a public statement, apart from this, no other notice was issued. A bench comprising Chief Justice BR Gavai and Justice AG Masih ordered an effective stop to the demolition process. Along with this, a response has been sought from the Maharashtra government on the petition filed by the dargah administration.

The petitioners argued that the demolition was ordered on the basis of the minister’s public statements in the state assembly and a recent police report despite the absence of any government notice. The petitioners said that the dargah is 350 years old and the state government has nevertheless classified it as an illegal structure. The trust claimed that a formal registration of the property was also sought in 2022 and the dargah has been standing at the same location for decades. According to the petitioner, the vacation bench of the Bombay High Court had wrongly rejected the petitions for urgent hearing on May 15 and 16. The dargah administration told the Supreme Court that the police had also issued a notice on May 15. In the notice, the members of the trust were warned not to obstruct or disrupt the demolition process. The demolition process is scheduled for May 20.

The petitioners argued that the demolition was carried out without any legal order or due process such as notice or opportunity to be heard, which is a violation of their rights. The Supreme Court adjourned the matter for four weeks and asked the Maharashtra government to file its response within that time.
