Worship act: The Supreme Court has expressed concern over the increasing number of PILs in the worship act case. A bench of Chief Justice Sanjeev Khanna and Chief Justice PV Sanjay Kumar has emphasized on limiting such petitions. The bench said that there is a limit to file an application. Today we will not hear the worship site act case. The case is before a bench of three judges. Several applications have been filed. The case will be listed at some time in March. It is noteworthy that there is a provision to preserve the then form of a religious place established on 15 August 1947 in the worship site Act, 1991.
The case is based on the appeal of intervention by some political parties and leaders. These include Congress, Marxist-Leninist Party (CPI (ML)), Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind and All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimin (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi. These parties have opposed petitions challenging the provisions of that worship law.
This was the order of December 12.
The Supreme Court has stayed the proceedings of about 18 cases filed by various Hindu parties by order dated December 12, 2024. In which a survey was being demanded to find out the original religious character of 10 mosques. These include Gyanvapi in Varanasi, Shahi Idgah Mosque in Mathura and Shahi Jama Masjid in Sambhal, where four people died in clashes. After this, the Supreme Court listed all the petitions and fixed the date of hearing 17 February.
