Supreme Court to hear pleas challenging Places of Worship Act-1991 today

The Supreme Court is hearing PILs challenging the Places of Worship Act, 1991. Petitioners argue it infringes on their right to reclaim religious sites, while opponents emphasize its role in preserving secularism. The Act prohibits altering the character of places of worship as they existed on August 15, 1947, excluding the Ayodhya dispute.
