The Apex Court on, 16 April, asked the government to frame a five-year policy for Haj pilgrimage which will replace the existing annual plan. “We accept the suggestion of the Amicus and direct that the Haj policy that is to be framed this year would be for a period of five years,” a bench of Justice Aftab Alam said. The court also allowed the Mahram repeaters to accompany lady and elderly pilgrims but without availing the subsidised rate. The court directed the Haj Committee to complete the whole process in a time bound manner with permissible grace periods. “…time schedule with regard to the Haj process as fixed by the Haj Committee of India should be strictly adhered to and no authority of court should interfere in the process,”stated the court.
