Madras High Court would have reviewed its stand to ensure Justice to the Hindus.

The mosques are our barracks, the believers soldiers

Our faith has been waiting for this spiritual army

Madras High Court refuses to review its order hailing religious harmony in the country by nulling an opposition of construction of a Mosque near a Hindu Temple.

Chief Justice Sanjay V. Gangapurwala and Justice D. Bharatha Chakravarthy say, there’s no error in the order imposing costs of ₹25,000 on the Hindu Munnetra Kazhagam president for opposing construction of a mosque.

Upananda Brahmachari | HENB | Haridwar | Nov 19, 2023:: Pity on this judiciary in India with its pro-active pseudo-secular modality which goes against Hindu interest leaving all practical ideas only to satisfy the Islamic intentions in an anti-Hindu ecosystem.

As per the report of The Hindu newspaper, the Madras High Court has refused to review an order passed by it hailing the prevalence of religious harmony in the country while imposing costs of ₹25,000 on Hindu Munnetra Kazhagam (HMK) president K. Gopinath for filing a case against the construction of a mosque in Chennai.

First Division Bench of Chief Justice Sanjay V. Gangapurwala and Justice D. Bharatha Chakravarthy dismissed the review petition filed by Mr. Gopinath against the April 17, 2023, order passed by a Division Bench comprising the then Acting Chief Justice T. Raja and Justice Chakravarthy.

“The Division Bench of this court, under the order sought to be reviewed, has considered the locus of the applicant so also the fact of religious harmony in India. No new grounds are set up in review. The review cannot be entertained as an appeal in disguise,” the Bench led by the Chief Justice wrote.

It went on to state: “The jurisdiction of this court in review is in a narrow compass and can be exercised only upon an error apparent on the face of the record. There is no error apparent on the face of the record. In view of the above, the review application is dismissed.”

The order passed on April 17 had taken exception to the petitioner, a resident of Tiruppur, objecting to the construction of a mosque in Chennai. It stated that the petitioner had also not explained as to what harm would be caused by converting an Arabic college into a mosque.

“The petitioner has simply mentioned that there is a temple called Subbaiah Mutt Sivan temple nearby the place in question and if the Arabic college is converted into a mosque, there will be a public nuisance. In our considered opinion, the apprehension of the petitioner is unfounded,” the Bench led by the then ACJ said.

It further wrote: “The Constitution of India supports and encourages religious harmony. Probably, the petitioner is unaware of the fact that in Karaikal, inside the Arulmighu Angala Parameswari Temple, a Muslim Saint, by the name of Mutthalu Ravuthar, was buried and people belonging to both communities worship both the deity as well as the Dargah by lighting lamps or incense sticks, as the case may be. When there is such religious harmony in diversity in this land, we do not find any substance in the apprehension of the petitioner that riots may occur if the college is used as a mosque.”

While dismissing the writ petition, the Bench had also directed the petitioner to pay costs of ₹25,000 to the Madras High Court Advocate Clerks Welfare Association.

Alas! The Hon’ble High Court of Madras has miserably failed to justify the demand of the petitioner K. Gopinath on behalf of Hindu Munnetra Kazhagam (HMK).

There are hundreds of cases of  communal tension and conflicts in India which were created between Hindus and Muslims due to the existence of two different places of worship in close proximity.

Though Hindus are liberal enough, the Musallis (Muslims who pray) in the Mosque object severally the sounds of Temple during Aarti or Hindu processions beside the Mosque. The problems increase day by day especially during the religious festivals of both communities. Hundreds of such incidents are in public domain how the Hindu festival processions or Hindu temple processions were attacked near mosques and how the Hindu religious programmes (rituals) were objected by the Muslims connected with Mosques,

Just on Nov 16 , 2023, fresh tension gripped Haryana’s Nuh when eight Hindu women were injured after some Muslim children allegedly threw stones at them from a mosque on Thursday night, police said. The ‘Secular High’ and ‘Wisdom Elated’  Chief Justice Chief Justice Sanjay V. Gangapurwala and Justice D. Bharatha Chakravarthy can verify this news here from India Today.

Then, if a Mosque in the Arabic college in Chennai in question comes with such attacks to the near by Hindu temple, who will take the responsibility? The concerned First Division Bench in Madras High Court must check its ecstasy going against a Hindu  petition by  setting a cost of ₹25,000 on  K. Gopinath of HMK.

It is not ascertained whether the present Chief Justice of madras HC with his companion Judge know what is said about a mosque by a devout Muslim poet and philosopher Ziya Gökalp (1876–1924). In his poem, A Soldier’s Prayer, he wrote:

The minarets are our spears, the domes are our shields/  The mosques are our barracks, the believers soldiers Our faith has been waiting for this spiritual army/ Allah (God) is great, Allah (God) is great.

This is a very loving quotation by Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the present Islamist President  of Turkey, including millions of Muslims who think Mosque as the epicenter of Jihad. 

Dangerous enough, the Hon’ble Madras High Court has ignored all such threat perceptions from a Mosque to Hindus and other non-Muslims under a mysterious spell of secularism, may be  under the influence of ‘Sanatan Eradication’ agenda of DMK!

Ridiculously, the Madras HC has preached a message of religious harmony citing an example of the tomb of a Muslim fakir Mutthalu Ravuthar inside Arulmighu Angala Parameswari Temple in the instant case. It’s nothing but the generosity and humbleness of the Hindu society. But, what about the thousands of  Hindu Temples desecrated and demolished by the Muslim rulers in India? What is the view of Madras High Court about the religious harmony as reflected with the attacks and destruction on Hindu temples to build Mosques thereon  in Ayodhya, Kashi, Mathura, Bhojshala and so on?

With due regards to the Temple of Justice in Madras High Court, it is necessary to say that anti-Hindu pronouncement of rulings, orders or verdict in a  so-called secular clarification cannot glorify the the motto of ‘Satyameva Jayate‘ or ‘Yato Dharmastato Jayah‘.

This opinion is not an effort for a defamation of judiciary, but an appeal with Hindu pain and perseverance. 

Madras High Court would have reviewed its stand to ensure Justice to the Hindus.
