Gyanvapi Mosque : controversy along with
Background of this situation:
On May 16, the counsel for the five Hindu women who filed the petition for the ongoing survey and inspection had told the Varanasi court that a ‘shivling’had been found within the mosque premises, following which the court ordered that the area where it was found be sealed.
During Tuesday’s hearing in the Supreme Court, a bench of Justices D.Y. Chandrachud and P.S. Narasimha passed an interim order in which it directed the DM to protect the area where the ‘shivling’ was found, but to do so without impeding the access of Muslim devotees.
What law says about such conditions?
The Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991, says the religious character of place of worship will continue as it existed on on August 15, 1947, and:
“No person shall convert any place of worship of any religious denomination or any section thereof into a place of worship of a different section of the same religious denomination or of a different religious denomination or any section thereof.”
