As per this law, the status of religious places in India during Independence should be maintained. No change can be made. The only exception was Ram Janmabhoomi.

The Court said that wrongs were committed in the past, but such wrongs cannot be the basis for disturbing the peace of our present and future. Once Government declares a place as a monument, then people cannot demand permission to perform religious acts there.

In a petition filed last year, it was said that there are 27 temples of Hindus and Jains in the vicinity of Qutub Minar and permission to worship at these temples should be granted.  Jain Tirthankara Rishabhdev and Shri Vishnu’s main temples were there. Also, temples of Shri Ganesh, Bhagwan Shiva, Shri Parvati Devi, Deity Hanuman, etc were there. These temples were destroyed to build a mosque. The temples must be restored and the right to worship must be granted.
