SC to hear pleas against Places of Worship Act
The Statesman
|December 08, 2024
3-judge Special Bench of apex court to hear pleas on 12 December
A 3-judge special bench of the Supreme Court will hear on 12 December a batch of petitions challenging the constitutionality of certain provisions of the Places of Worship (Special Provision) Act, 1991. The Act prohibits the filing of a lawsuit to reclaim a place of worship or seek a change in its character from what prevailed on 15 August 1947.
The special bench comprising Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna, Justice Sanjay Kumar and Justice K.V. Viswanathan will take up for hearing a batch of petitions at 3.30 p.m. on 12 December. The petitions challenging the Places of Worship Act have contended that the Act takes away the rights of Hindus, Jains, Buddhists, and Sikhs to restore their 'places of worship and pilgrimages', destroyed by invaders.

Prescription for Politics
Political parties ~ the crucial link between citizens and government ~ have so far prioritised winnability alone, for reasons obvious in a democracy, while giving scant regard to what is equally obvious ~ if not more vital ~ political credibility. Since the quality of the legislature is crucial to a healthy political culture, the larger question is whether parties will have the courage to deny tickets to unscrupulous candidates, however electable they may appear, and instead field those who embody integrity and bring fresh perspectives to public life
