The hearing on the Places of Worship Act was heard today by a three-judge special bench headed by the Chief Justice of India.

Maulana Madani says this is a big decision
In the backdrop of the Sambhal tragedy and Hindu claims against Ajmer Dargah, on the instructions of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind Chairman Maulana Arshad Madani, Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind has filed a petition against the Protection of Religious Places Act, 1991 Book. Reacting to the Supreme Court verdict, Maulana Arshad Madani said that this is a significant decision and it is hoped that it will curb those who spread communism and unrest in the country.
Senior advocate Raju Ramachandran put forward strong arguments against the petition filed in the Supreme Court to uphold the Protection of Religious Places Act and its effective implementation.
