AYODHYA: The Uttar Pradesh Sunni Central Waqf Board has vowed to defend the provisions of Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991, within the legal framework, a day after the Supreme Court asked the Centre to respond to a PIL challenging the law which prohibits reclaiming of disputed shrines.
The Sunni Board, which controls 1.3lakh mosques and mausoleums in Uttar Pradesh has been dragged into legal battles over Kashi’s Gyanvapi masjid and Shahi Eidgah mosque in Mathura, just months after the November 2019 Ayodhya verdict. On Saturday, the Board decided to back the Mosque Committee of Tile Wali Masjid, Lucknow, to move the Supreme Court against the petition.
SC on Friday sought the Centre s response on a PIL challenging the constitutional validity of the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday sought the Centre s response on a PIL challenging the constitutional validity of the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991, which barred any litigation seeking to change the character of a religious place from what it was at the time of independence.
A bench headed by Chief Justice S A Bobde issued notice to the Centre on the PIL filed by advocate-petitioner Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay, who said the law is discriminatory as it deprived the Hindus, Jains and Buddhists from reclaiming their ancient places of worship which were damaged and converted to Mosques during the reign of Muslim Kings.
