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.
New petitions have been filed challenging the Supreme Court’s December 12 interim order, which prohibits courts from action on worship-related disputes until February 17, 2025. Petitioners seek modification of this stay, contesting the constitutionality of the Places of Worship Act, with political support advocating for its enforcement amid ongoing public debate.
