Taj Mahal could be viewed on the moonlit nights by enthusiasts again after a gap of 20 years as the Supreme Court today granted permission to this effect to the Uttar Pradesh government.

However, only 400 people would be allowed to visit between 8.30 to 12.30 every night five times a month — the full moon night and two nights prior and two nights after the full moon night, a bench comprising Justice Ruma Pal, Justice S.B. Sinha and Justice S.H. Kapadia ordered.
