Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the Haj Committee Act, 1959, which replaced the Port Haj Committee Act, 1932, to address the management of pilgrim traffic and ensure representation of the Muslim community in the Haj Committee. The Court held that the Act's provisions, including the composition and duties of the Committee as outlined in Sections 2 and 9, are valid and serve the purpose of facilitating the pilgrimage process. The judgment affirmed the necessity of the Act in light of historical changes and the current needs of pilgrims.
