The Madhya Pradesh High
Court on Wednesday adjourned the hearing of a contempt petition against two functionaries of the Darul Qaza Masajid Committee in Bhopal for February 24.
On February 17, the court had directed the two functionaries for personal appearance on Wednesday to explain why they continue to hear matrimonial disputes despite the court's order against the practice.
The committee's secretary S M Salman appeared before the court, while the other respondent Qazi Mushtaq Ali Nadvi was unable to appear due to cancellation of trains to Jabalpur, petitioner Mohammad Waseem Khan's counsel Mohammad Adil Usmani said.
A division bench of Justices Sanjay Yadav and Atul Sreedharan is hearing a contempt petition filed by Khan against the two committee functionaries.
