Hindustan Times Amritsar|January 03, 2025
The Supreme Court on Thursday tagged All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief and parliamentarian Asaduddin Owaisi's petition with a series of cases, some challenging the validity of the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991, and others advocating for its strict enforcement.

NEW DELHI:

A bench comprising Chief Justice of India (CJI) Sanjiv Khanna and Justice PV Sanjay Kumar directed that Owaisi's petition be tagged and heard along with the bundle of other cases, which are expected to come up for hearing on February 17.

Owaisi's petition, filed on December 17, 2024, through advocate Fuzail Ahmad Ayyubi, seeks strict enforcement of the 1991 Act. It emphasizes the need to prevent any alteration of religious sites and ensure the law's effective implementation.

The court, already handling multiple petitions linked to the Act, including challenges filed by Bharatiya Janata Party leader Subramanian Swamy and advocate Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay, decided to consolidate Owaisi's plea with these matters.
