Mohd. Aslam @ Bhure vs Union Of India (Uoi) And Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the constitutional validity of the Acquisition of Certain Area at Ayodhya Act, 1993, except for Sub-section (3) of Section 4, which was declared unconstitutional for abating pending suits without an alternative dispute resolution mechanism, violating the rule of law. The Court clarified that the status of a mosque under Mahomedan Law in India is equivalent to that of any other place of worship, and does not provide greater immunity from acquisition. The judgment also revived pending suits related to the disputed area for adjudication.
