New Delhi. During the hearing on the petitions related to the Placese of Vership Act, Supreme Court Chief Justice Sanjeev Khanna today expressed displeasure at not filing answers on behalf of the Central Government and the filing of new petitions. The issue of not filing the counter from the Center was raised by the lawyers, on which the CJI also agreed and dismissed all the new petitions challenging the Varship Act in which no notice has been issued yet. It is mandatory to maintain a religious place as a character under the Places of Varships Act 1991 as it was on 15 August 1947.
According to the report of the Bar and Bench, during the hearing of the case, Senior Advocate Dushyant said before the Supreme Court that no longer the new petitions related to the case should be allowed. At the same time, Senior Advocate Indira Jaisingh, appearing for a plaintiff, mentioned a new petition for the hearing. On this, the CJI said that there is a limit to file the petitions. Many interim applications have been filed but may not be able to hear it. With this, the CJI dismissed the new petitions in which no notice has been issued yet.
Although the CJI also said that the petitions of the dismissed petitions can apply in the existing petitions, but the application should be made on a new basis. Let us tell you that the Narasimha Rao government passed the Placeage of Varships Act 1991. It states that the place of worship on 15 August 1947 cannot be changed. Now the Placeage of Vership Act 1991 has been challenged, which is going on hearing.
