As per case facts, petitioners challenged government orders from August 2020 prohibiting Moharram processions in Uttar Pradesh, arguing these were discriminatory and violated their right to practice religion amidst pandemic ... restrictions. They sought permission to perform religious mourning rituals with reasonable restrictions. The question arose whether the complete prohibition on processions or Taziyas was arbitrary, discriminatory, violated fundamental rights, or if it was reasonable and justified given the prevalent COVID-19 situation. Finally, the court found the government orders were not discriminatory as similar restrictions were imposed on all communities for other festivals. Citing the alarming rate of COVID-19 transmission in Uttar Pradesh and the difficulty in ensuring social distancing for Taziya burials, the court concluded that the total prohibition was an extraordinary, reasonable, and justified measure for public health, thereby dismissing the petitions.
