The PIL in Supreme Court seeking declaration that Section 2, 3, 4 of the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991 is void and unconstitutional for being violative of Articles 14, 15, 21, 25, 26, 29 of the Constitution has been filed by Swami Jeetendranand Saraswatee.

The bench of Chief Justice S.A. Bobde and Justice A.S. Bopanna issued notice to the Ministry of Home, Law & Justice and Ministry of Culture.

The Court has dismissed the plea on ground that the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991, had exempted litigation on ownership over disputed Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid litigation, but had barred any other court from entertaining litigation.
