NEW DELHI: Congress leaders Alok Sharma and Priya Mishra filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking restrictions on courts nationwide from entertaining pleas filed for carrying out surveys at religious places.
Their petition additionally sought directives to ensure state governments adhere to the Place of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991, and prevent them from executing court orders that mandate surveys of religious buildings or mosques in violation of the 1991 legislation.
Responding to this legal action, Congress leader Imran Masood said, "Supreme Court should take cognizance of this matter...It is unfortunate that lower courts are passing such orders. This is a serious issue."
