Meanwhile, Congress MP Imran Masood on Monday said the Supreme Court should take cognisance of the matter related to the permission of survey of religious places by lower courts.
He said the apex court should put a stay on such claims, otherwise it would lead to anarchy in the country. The Congress MP said it was unfortunate that trial courts were passing such orders.
What were Imran Masood's remarks?
He said such decisions of lower courts would lead to anarchy. Congress MP Imran Masood told media, The Supreme Court should take cognizance of this matter.
The Places of Worship Act, 1991 is clear. There should not be anarchy in the country. The kind of decisions the lower courts are taking will lead to anarchy. Such things will happen every day now.
Someone will claim something under a temple, mosque or church. This will create a situation of anarchy in the country. It is unfortunate that lower courts are passing such orders. It is a serious issue.
The Supreme Court should stop this. Further, two Congress leaders Alok Sharma and Priya Mishra approached the Supreme Court seeking to restrain courts across the country from considering petitions filed to conduct surveys at religious places.
The petition filed by the Congress leaders also sought directions to the states to comply with the Places of Worship Act of 1991.
