Places of Worship Act:Why was the law brought in & has it achieved its purpose?|Ep8 Laws of the Land

The Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act 1991 was brought in when the Ram Mandir movement was at its peak. The Babri Masjid was still standing, but the country had seen communal riots in Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka and Andhra a few months ago. The law was seen as a barrier for any future controversy around the ownership and character of any place of worship in the country.

What does the law say? Why is it so controversial? And has it managed to achieve its purpose?

In the eighth episode of ThePrint's #Lawsoftheland, Supreme Court lawyer Akriti Chaubey answers all these questions and more, with Bhadra Sinha and Apoorva Mandhani.
