New Delhi, Feb 20 (UNI) The Supreme Court on Friday rejected a PIL seeking a broad direction restraining authorities from permitting the construction or naming of any mosque in the name of Babur or Babri Masjid anywhere in India.
A Division Bench comprising Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta refused to entertain the matter.
The petitioner argued that no mosque should be constructed or named after Babur, describing him as an “invader”.
As the apex court rejected the plea, the petitioner withdrew the matter. Accordingly, the matter was dismissed as withdrawn.
