New Delhi, May 26: Another petition was filed in the Supreme Court on Thursday challenging the constitutional legality of key portions of the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act 1991, claiming that the Act contradicts secularism principles.
The constitutional validity of Sections 2, 3, and 4 of the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act 1991 was challenged by Rudra Vikram Singh, a Varanasi citizen.
According to Vikram’s complaint, the portions in question contradict Articles 14, 15, 21, 25, 26, and 29, as well as the ideals of secularism and the rule of law, which are enshrined in the Constitution’s Preamble and basic structure.
Earlier, Swami Jeetendranand Saraswati, a religious leader, filed a complaint against the 1991 Act on Wednesday. Sections 2, 3, and 4 of the Act, according to that plea, have taken away the right to seek the Court, thus closing the right to judicial recourse.
