Series of happenings in courts probe boundaries of Places of Worship Act

The Hindu  

Recent happenings in courts in Delhi, Varanasi, Mathura and the Supreme Court test the protective grip and probe the boundaries of The Places of Worship Act of 1991. The Ayodhya judgment of the Supreme Court said the 1991 Act “speaks to our history and to the future of the nation… In preserving the character of places of public worship, Parliament has mandated in no uncertain terms that history and its wrongs shall not be used as instruments to oppress the present and the future”. Court’s ‘considered view’ On May 19, the Mathura court gave a “considered view” that the 1991 Act did not bar a suit challenging the “fraudulent” compromise between the Sri Krishna Janmsthan Sewa Sangh and the Trust Masjid Idgah. Senior advocate Huzefa Ahmadi, for the caretakers, argued that “there is no dispute as far as the existence of this property is concerned for a period of 500 years and the religious character of the mosque… It is this religious character that has to be protected, otherwise the Places of Worship Act and the object of the Act will become a dead-letter”. ‘Hybrid character’ Within days of the apex court’s oral comments on the “hybrid character” of religious places, advocate Ashwini Upadhyay, who has challenged the 1991 Act separately, moved an application in the Supreme Court to implead himself in the Gyanvapi case.
