Places of Worship Act | Land Acquisition for Public Purpose Overrides 1947 Cut-Off Protection : Allahabad HC
Allahabad High Court holds that the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991 does not shield pre-1947 religious structures from land acquisition under eminent domain. Tenants and occupants lack locus standi to challenge such acquisitions, reinforcing state authority over public infrastructure projects.
