India's Supreme Court rejects petition to ban mosques named after Babur or Babri Masjid, upholding religious construction rights.
The Supreme Court of India has dismissed a petition seeking to ban the construction or naming of mosques after Mughal emperor Babur or the Babri Masjid, with the petitioner withdrawing the plea after the court signaled reluctance to hear it.
The case centered on a planned mosque in Murshidabad, West Bengal, named after the demolished Babri Masjid, initiated by former MLA Humayun Kabir in December 2025.
The court upheld the constitutional right to build places of worship, affirming that religious construction is a legal matter not subject to blanket judicial restrictions based on historical or symbolic concerns.
The decision leaves unresolved broader debates over religious naming and historical memory, but no ruling was issued on the merits.
