1. The instant writ (PIL) seeks to espouse the cause of denial of

fundamental rights under Articles 25 and 26 of the Constitution of

India by preventing the Hindus from worshipping actual place of

Krishna Janmsthan at Mathura by construction of the Shashi Idgah

Mosque after demolition of the temple as also the issue of imposing

Sections 2, 3 & 4 of the Places of Worship Act, 1991, which are

alleged to be unconstitutional.
