The Uttarakhand High Court has recently granted permission to a Hindu woman to pray at Piran Kaliyar (dargah in Haridwar district) and directed the police to provide security to her.
The court asked the woman to submit a letter to the SHO of the area for security before she offers prayers at the holy shrine.
The High Court division bench comprising Justices Manoj Kumar Tiwari & Justice Pankaj Purohit inquired why the petitioner, who hadn’t changed her religion, desired to offer prayers at Piran Kaliyar.
Therefore, the woman clarify that she was fascinated by Piran Kaliyar and wished to offer prayers there, but was not permitted.
The case involved a 22-year-old unmarried Hindu woman from Neemuch in Madhya Pradesh who filed a petition seeking permission to worship in Piran Kaliyar and requested security due to threats from religious groups.
A woman who is a follower of Hinduism, expressed her desire in the petition to worship in Piran Kaliyar without fear, financial gain, intimidation, or pressure. She requested that the district magistrate and the SSP of Haridwar be directed to secure the safety of her and her family from fundamentalist groups.
The next hearing in the case is scheduled for May 22.
