Advocate Ashwini Upadhyay, who has challenged the Places of Worship Act of 1991, has moved the Supreme Court seeking to be made a party in the Gyanvapi case while arguing that a temple’s “religious character” does not change merely because it was demolished once upon a time.
Demolition of a temple’s roof, walls, pillars, foundation and even subsequent offerings of Namaz does not change the character of a land where once a temple stood, Mr. Upadhyay argued.
