CJI Sanjiv Khanna To Take Up Today (Dec 12) Validity of Places of Worship Act

Today, On 12th December, Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna will hear petitions contesting the Places of Worship Act, which preserves the status of religious sites as of August 15, 1947. Supporters argue it upholds secularism and prevents communal tensions, while challengers claim it violates religious rights and impedes judicial remedies for various faiths.
