The Supreme Court has delayed the hearing on petitions challenging the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991, to the first week of April 2025. The Act mandates that the religious character of places of worship must remain as it was on August 15, 1947, and bars any changes. The Court expressed frustration over the frequent filing of new pleas, which complicates proceedings. This law has been a point of contention with some seeking its repeal, while others advocate for its strict implementation to preserve communal harmony and the status quo of religious sites.
