Gyanvapi Mosque committee petitions Supreme Court to uphold 1991 Act, citing national unity concerns.

The Gyanvapi Mosque committee in Varanasi has petitioned the Supreme Court to uphold the Places of Worship Act of 1991, which prevents religious site conversions. They argue that overturning the Act could lead to national disputes and communal tension, citing recent violence related to a mosque survey in Sambhal. Former judge Rohinton Nariman supports this, stating the Act helps prevent litigation and upholds secular values, suggesting courts should enforce its provisions.
