SC expresses displeasure at several fresh pleas being filed in Places of Worship Act matter

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday (February 17) expressed its displeasure over filing of several fresh petitions in the pleas challenging the validity of the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991 mandating the religious character of a place to be maintained as it existed on August 15, 1947.

The matter was earlier heard by a three-judge bench headed by CJI Khanna.

“There is a limit to which petitions can be filed. So many IAs (interim applications) have been filed… we might not be able to take it up”, CJI Khanna said and added that the date may be given in March.

CJI Khanna-led bench last week, while ordering the listing of Samajwadi Party leader and Kairana MP Iqra Choudhary’s plea with other pending pleas on the Places of Worship Act on February 17 without issuing a notice, had said, “Why are so many new petitions being filed? Every week we get one.”

The apex court, while hearing several petitions and cross-petitions on the 1991 law on December 12 last year, restrained all courts in the country from passing any interim or final orders on pending pleas seeking to reclaim religious places.
