New Delhi, May 23: The Supreme Court turned down Al Islam Tour Corporations’ request to be considered as private tour operators for the Hajj in 2022.
The Al Islam Tour Corporations’ appeal was dismissed by a bench of Justices Abdul Nazeer and Pamidighantam Sri Narasimha. Following that, the petitioner requested permission to withdraw his plea and file a motion with the concerned High Court.
The petitioner was given the freedom to pursue any alternative legal remedy accessible to him.
The Supreme Court stated that it had previously dismissed similar petitions and that the petitioners should have arrived one month earlier.
“Earlier petitions we have dismissed. Hajj programme has already commenced. Read our orders from last time. How many time left for Hajj now? At least you should have come one month before”, said Justice Nazeer during the hearing.
The petitions may have validity, but the apex court stated that they cannot be heard at this time since everything needs to be rebuilt.
In a motion filed through advocate Shahid Anwar, the petitioner Al Islam Tour Corporations requested that the court issue a mandamus demanding and instructing the respondent to consider the petitioner as a private tour operator for the Haj in 2022.
In addition, the petitioner has requested that his name be added to the list of Haj Group Organizers for Haj-2022.
