Apex Court to Hear Pleas Concerning Places of Worship Act on 17 February
The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|February 16, 2025
The Supreme Court will hear on Monday (17 February), a batch of cross-petitions questioning the validity of the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991, (POWA), and others seeking effective and proper enforcement of the 1991 law - that prohibits the filing of a lawsuit to reclaim a place of worship or seek a change in its character from what prevailed on August 15, 1947.
The batch of cross-petitions are listed before a bench comprising Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna, Justice Sanjay Kumar, and Justice K.V. Viswanathan.
In the last hearing of the petitions on 12 December 2024, the Supreme Court had restrained all the courts across the country from passing any effective interim or final order including that of the surveys in pending suits staking a claim over the existing religious structures.
By its 12 December 2024, order, the bench had ordered that no fresh suits can be registered making claims over other religious places while the court is hearing cross-petitions challenging the constitutionality of Section 3 and 4 of the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991 and others seeking "effective and proper" enforcement of the 1991 law.

As Bihar heads to the polls...
Electors in Bihar will carry their own dreams and those of candidates and political parties as they walk to booths in 121 assembly constituencies on Thursday morning. Election managers have meanwhile shifted gear from a three-month grueling phase of Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls to the hardcore routine of the conduct of polls - logistics, law and order, rebooting of their surgical methods and of course enforcement of the vexing model code of conduct (MCC).

Where the Moon sails the river
n Kartika Purnima, when the full moon spills itself over the Mahanadi and its sister rivers, Odisha becomes a single long, luminous sigh. The night is at once festival and elegy: lamps drift like small stars, miniature boats glide like secret letters, and the water takes the moon’s light and keeps itas memory. Here the celestial, the domestic, and the maritime fold into one another - the moon a silent witness, the river a courier, the boat a human hope set afloat.
