The Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed a PIL seeking a national holiday on Guru Gobind Singh’s birth anniversary, which is celebrated as ‘Parkash Parv’.Noting that there were already several religious holidays in India, a Bench of Justice Vikram Nath and Justice Sandeep Mehta said, “Let’s not add to holidays.”“Dismissed… A detailed order will come,” the Bench said.As senior counsel Vikas Singh submitted on behalf of petitioner All India Shiromani Singh Sabha that the top court should issue directions to the government to issue “specific guidelines for declaration of public or gazetted holiday” in the country, the Bench made it clear that it was not inclined to entertain the PIL.Singh pointed out that at present there was no policy on the issue and there should be some certainty on how a public holiday has to be decided.“Let’s not add to holidays,” the Bench told Singh.The petitioner sought directions to the Centre to declare the Guru’s Parkash Parv as a gazetted/public holiday to be observed all over India, including but not restricted to, the states/Union Territories in which Sikhs have significant population as well as in states connected to the life and activities of the tenth Sikh guru.
