Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay v. Union of India, petition challenging the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991

Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay v. Union of India, the lead petition filed in 2020 challenging the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991, before the Supreme Court of India, is the primary litigation document confirmed as ongoing before a three-judge bench as of 2025. Its strength is that it is the court's own case record for an active, closely watched constitutional dispute. Its limit is that as an unresolved case, it documents the challenge and its pending status, not a final judicial ruling on the Act's constitutionality, which had not yet been decided at the time of this record.
