NEW DELHI: Today(6th Jan): A Hindu group, the Akhil Bhartiya Sant Samiti, has approached the Supreme Court to challenge the constitutional validity of the 1991 Places of Worship Act, claiming it infringes on fundamental rights and prevents communities from reclaiming religious sites. The law maintains the status quo of religious places since 1947, excluding disputes related to the Babri Masjid.
Today (7th March): The Madras High Court acknowledged present caste-based inequities, but highlighted the recent origins of the caste system, distancing it from ancient Varna system. The Court condemned caste-based violence, and clarified the historical context of the Varna system. The petition filed against State Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, PK Sekarbabu, and A Raja was criticized, but they were not removed from office due to lack of legal grounds.
