I had submitted a petition to the Supreme Court seeking enforcement of the Places of Worship Act, 1991. The SC has tagged the petition today. I hope that the Court’s own “principle of non-retrogression” will be enforced in letter and spirit. Advocate @MNizamPasha appeared for us
The Chairman of the Joint Working Committee on the Waqf Bill 2024 recently went to Karnataka to look into some local matter. The Committee does not have investigation powers, its job is to look into the Bill alone. Moreover the Chairman cannot act unilaterally & the Committee has to act collectively. We had already conducted a consultation in Karnataka. We are bound by parliamentary procedure so we aren’t in a position to explain the questionable conduct of the Chairman since the formation of the Committee. I hope @speakerloksabha will take notice of the Chairman’s behaviour
