Gyanvapi Row: Should Status Quo On All Disputed Religious Properties Remain?
The Gyanvapi mosque controversy plays out in two courts today - while the Varanasi court sacks the survey commissioner over media leaks of the survey in which an alleged 'shivling' was found in the mosque complex, the Supreme Court doesn't stop the survey, says secure the site but let Muslims offer namaz. The petitioners say in the Supreme Court that the trial court has gone against the Places of Worship Act. Should status quo on all disputed religious properties remain - and are cases like these attempts to build a ground to revisit the 1991 act?
