RE:This article is biased

Hellow Madam,
The ground was not a private property, it is a govt property whereby muslims were given permission to conduct namaz on certain days in a year.

The judgment of the High Court may be summarised as follows:

The Idgah Maidan is not the exclusive property of the Anjuman-e-Islam but belongs to what was by then the Hubli-Dharwad Municipal Corporation.

The Maidan was licensed to the Anjuman for purely religious purposes, that is, to offer prayers on two days in the years, the Bakrid and the Ramzaan.

The Anjuman may not use the property for any educational or commercial purpose.

The permanent structures already erected by the Anjuman may be demolished within 45 days.

The public (inclusive of the Muslim community) has no customary rights of the user on the property. Following this judgment, the Anjuman made a Special Leave Petition to the Supreme Court to appeal against the above judgment and sought a stay order against the demolition of the permanent structures. The stay was granted
