NEW DELHI: The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has moved the Supreme Court requesting it not to entertain a bunch of PILs challenging the validity of the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991, arguing that any permission to change the status quo of religious places would disrupt communal harmony and lead to large scale violence.
The places of worship act freezes the religious character of a structure as it existed on August 15, 1947. It exempted the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute from its ambit and the SC on November 9, 2019 had awarded the land to the Hindus for construction of a Ram temple.
