Law Construction
Event Summary

The India — Supreme Court of India refused to entertain a plea seeking to restrain the construction or naming of any mosque or religious structure in the name of Babur or Babri Masjid. The petitioner's counsel withdrew the plea after the bench expressed disinclination. The plea was prompted by suspended India — Trinamool Congress MLA Humayun Kabir's announcement to construct a replica of the Babri Masjid in India — West Bengal's India — Murshidabad district. The petitioner argued against naming structures after 'invaders' like Babur. The court's decision to dismiss the plea as withdrawn follows a 2019 verdict in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title dispute case, which cleared the way for a Ram Temple at Ayodhya and directed a five-acre plot for the India — Delhi Waqf Board to build a mosque.
