NEW DELHI: Samajwadi Party leader and Member of Parliament, Iqra Choudhary, has filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court, urging the full implementation of the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991. This Act seeks to maintain the status quo of religious places as they were on August 15, 1947, and prohibits any legal proceedings that aim to alter the religious character of these places.
Today, On 7th May, The Allahabad High Court emphasized the impact of the Waqf Board in the Shahi Idgah dispute, addressing property ownership and religious rights.
