Animal sacrifice for Id, Urs at Vishalgad dargah allowed by HC

• Bombay High Court permits animal sacrifice at Vishalgad Fort in Kolhapur district.

• The decision was challenged by the Hazrat Peer Malik Rehan Mira Saheb Dargah Trust.

• The ban is based on Maharashtra Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act and a 1998 Aurangabad Bench judgment.

• The court ruled that conditions imposed last year, including private and enclosed space, will apply this year.

• The same conditions apply to the present plea and to devotees who sacrifice animals during Bakrid and Urs.
