The Supreme Court on Friday asked the Centre to file a response on a public suit seeking a ban on green flags with crescent and star which resembles those of the Pakistan Muslim League.
A bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi asked the government to file a reply within four weeks.
The court was hearing a public interest litigation filed by Shia Waqf Board chief Syed Waseem Rizvi.
Rizvi said that hoisting such flags atop buildings and religious places in the country was un-Islamic.
Such flags were being hoisted in Muslim dominated areas with impunity, he said.
