"Places constructed in derogation of the personal law, cannot be termed as a 'place of worship'," another plea in #SupremeCourt has challenged the provisions of the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991.
The plea states, "Retrospective cutoff-date was fixed 15th August 1947 (of the Act) to legalize the illegal acts of barbaric invaders. Though, Hindu Law was ‘Law in force’ at the commencement of the Constitution."

PIL filed by @anilkabotra through Advocate Ashwini Kumar Dubey has challenged the constitutional validity of Section 2, 3, and 4 of the #placesofworshipact.
It may be noted, another plea challenging the 1991 Act is pending before the #SupremeCourt filed by Advocate @AshwiniUpadhyay which states "the Act has taken away the power of the Court and Religious Sects to restore their places of Worship". Notice was issued in March of 2021.

#SupremeCourt to hear plea seeking direction to conduct special stray round in #NEETPG counselling for the vacant seats.
Counsel submits that Sr Adv Balbir Singh is not available today.

Justice MR Shah: No No you call him, this is a very important matter.
You first tell us whether there are vacant seats?
Counsel: Yes Milords, there is.

Justice Shah: Even if there is one vacant seat it should not go unfilled. What you'll get by keeping the seats vacant when we need doctors, is there any responsibility or not. Let the Higher Authority present tomorrow, we'll pass orders.

Noting that a hypertechnical and mechanical approach shall do no good to the parties, #AllahabadHighCourt grants bail to a rape accused.
The barely major young man had allegedly enticed away his alleged minor lover and got her pregnant. The girl child is 3.5 years old now.
Court took note of the youth's submission that he and the victim were lovers and due to fear of families and co-villagers who were against their alliance as the two belonged to the same village and community, they eloped and the girl's father filed a case against him.
Court said, "In this conservative and non-permissive society, it is true that marriage in the same village is prohibited and is not customary, and it may be an after effect of media and cinema, instances of marriage in the same village are on the rise."
