The Supreme Court will hear a batch of writ petitions challenging the constitutionality validity of the Places of Worship Act (Special Provisions) Act, 1991 on December 12 at 3.30 PM.
The challenge will be heard by a special bench of Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna, Justices Sanjay Kumar, and K.V. Viswanathan. The petitioners argue that the law is arbitrary and unreasonable and infringes the fundamental right to practice religion, leading to the violation of the fundamental rights under Articles 14 and 25 of the Indian Constitution.
