To strengthen its argument, Mosque Committee is relying upon the case of Deen Mohammad Vs State Secretary (1937).

Nikhil Upadhyay, a law student, seeks impleadment in the #GyanvapCase before Varanasi District Court alleging that only those places are protected under Places of Worship Act, 1991 which were constructed in accordance with the personal law of person constructing them.
#gyanvapi
"Retrospective cutoff date cannot be fixed to legalize illegal acts of barbaric invaders as Hindu Law (Temple Character never changes) was ‘Law in force’ at the commencement of the Constitution by virtue
of Article 372(1)," he argues.
#GyanvapiCase #VaranasiCourt
He further contends that Muslims cannot assert any right in respect of any piece of land claiming to be a Mosque unless it has been constructed on legally owned
and occupied virgin land.

#AllahabadHighCourt holds that against any order u/S 5 of the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act 2007, the right to appeal u/S 16(1) is available 'not only' to the senior citizen and parents 'but also' to the children, relative, or other person too.
Section 16(1) reads, "Any senior citizen or a parent, as the case may be, aggrieved by an order of a Tribunal may, within sixty days from the date of the order, prefer an appeal to the Appellate Tribunal....." Image
Court said, "Maintenance has to be given by some person or institute or a juristic person and if such a maintenance is been granted, some person must be affected and thus, non-mentioning of the words in Section 16(1) is not a casus omissus, but it seems an accidental omission."
