Petition challenging Places of Worship Act filed in SC by Hindus

A Hindu body, Vishwa Bhadra Pujari Purohit Mahasangh’ has moved the Supreme Court challenging a provision of a 1991 law that provides for maintaining “religious character” of holy structures as it existed on 15th August 1947, in a bid to open the litigation route to reclaim disputed religious sites other than the Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya.
