The controversial verdict of the Allahabad HC was stayed by a larger bench of the same court. The order came in a special appeal moved by the stste govt. before a two-judge bench comprising two justices viz. Krishna Murari and Rafat Alam. The appeal challenged the validity of Thursday's order issued by a single judge bench of Justice S.N.Srivastava who had ruled, "Muslims are not entitled to be recognised as a religious minority."
While staying the earlier verdict, the larger bench termed it as violating judicial propriety. "Since another division bench had stayed a similar case dealing with the same questions of law, it was against judicial propriety for a single -- judge bench to hear the matter at all," Justice Alam observed in the open court.
The controversial order of the Allahabad High Court, terminating the minority status of Muslims, was stayed by a larger bench of the same court on Friday afternoon.
