Making of a flash point in Sambhal

Hindustan Times  

The four deaths in Sambhal, a city near Meerut, after Uttar Pradesh police clashed with protesters on Sunday during the survey of a mosque believed to have been constructed in the 16th century is the fallout of a polarising political build-up centred on religious sites and its tacit indulgence by the judiciary. In Sambhal, a local civil court ordered a survey of the mosque, which is also a protected monument under the Ancient Monuments Preservation Act, 1904, after some Hindu petitioners staked claim to the site alleging that the Shahi Jama Masjid was constructed by a Mughal general following the demolition of a temple. It is disturbing that the civil court entertained the petition and allowed administrative action considering that the masjid is covered by the Places of Worship Act, 1991. When this is the law of the land, the Sambhal court, or for that matter any court, has no business in issuing directives and orders on petitions that disregard the provisions of the Places of Worship Act: The Act explicitly states that “no person shall convert any place of worship of any religious denomination or any section thereof into a place of worship of a different section of the same religious denomination or of a different religious denomination or any section thereof”.
