The Delhi high court Friday granted two weeks to the Central government to file its reply to a plea by Delhi Waqf Board to open the Nizamuddin Markaz where the Tablighi Jamaat congregation was held amid the COVID-19 pandemic and was locked since March 31 last year. On April 15, the court had allowed 50 people to offer namaz five times a day at Nizamuddin Markaz during Ramzan, saying there is no direction in the Delhi Disaster Management Authority notification to close down places of worship. In a status report filed by the Assistant Commissioner of Police Sub Division Lajpat Nagar, the central government had said the court "in its wisdom and discretion" may permit such persons as it deems fit and proper to perform namaz only on the ground floor of the mosque at the Nizamuddin Markaz by strictly following all COVID-19 related protocols.
