Why ex-CJI DY Chandrachud is at the centre of Ajmer-Sambhal storm

India Today  

In September 2024, Vishnu Gupta, leader of the right-wing Hindu Sena, filed a petition in a Rajasthan court, seeking to declare the revered Ajmer Sharif Dargah, a sanctuary of Sufi mysticism and interfaith harmony, a Shiva temple. The petition argued that the dargah, dedicated to Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, was built over an ancient Hindu temple and demanded an Archaeological Survey of India -led investigation to establish its religious origins. The Ajmer Sharif case is emblematic of a growing trend in India, where claims are being made over the historical origins of religious sites, often framed as efforts to “reclaim” lost heritage. Critics argue that the rapid acceptance of the petition and the haste in ordering the survey disregarded the essence of the POW Act and the principles of natural justice, exacerbating communal tensions. Although his comments were not binding, local courts and high courts have since cited Justice Chandrachud’s observations to justify allowing surveys and suits challenging the status quo of religious sites.
