The Supreme Court will hear on Thursday the petition of AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi seeking implementation of the Places of Worship Act of 1991. Under this law, the religious character of any place will remain the same as it was on August 15, 1947.
Lawyer and MP Owaisi filed this petition on December 17, 2024, through advocate Fuzail Ahmed Ayyubi. However, on December 12, a bench headed by Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna, while hearing similar petitions against this 1991 law, had banned issuing any interim or final order and accepting new petitions on pending cases seeking reclaims on religious places, especially mosques and dargahs.
As a result, the apex court had stayed the hearing of about 18 petitions filed by Hindu parties seeking a survey to ascertain the original religious character of 10 mosques. These include Gyanvapi in Varanasi, Shahi Idgah Mosque in Mathura, and Shahi Jama Masjid in Sambhal.
Hearing today on the petition challenging the senior designation of lawyers
The Supreme Court will hear on Thursday a petition seeking the cancellation of the entire process of nominating 70 lawyers as senior advocates by the Delhi High Court. According to the agenda published on the website of the apex court, the petition will be heard by a bench of Justice BR Gavai and Justice KV Vishwanathan. This petition has been filed by Mumbai-based lawyer Mathew J. Nedumpara.
In this, he has said that the entire process of nominating lawyers as senior is tainted with favoritism, nepotism, protectionism, and other illegal things. The petition also states that the separate dress code for the designated senior advocates is an unjust classification among lawyers and is akin to apartheid. It is unconstitutional and invalid as it violates Articles 14, 19, and 21 of the Constitution.
