Supreme Court Dismisses Plea Against Babur-Named Mosques

• Supreme Court bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta dismissed a petition seeking to restrain the construction of mosques named after Babar or Babri Masjid.
• The petitioner argued that Mughal ruler Babar was an "anti-Hindu invader" involved in the slaying of many Hindus.
• The plea was filed in response to the construction of a Babri Masjid in Murshidabad, initiated by Jan Unnayan Party chief Humayun Kabir.
• Humayun Kabir asserted his constitutional right to build places of worship and stated that legal challenges would not deter the mosque's construction.
• Kabir also announced plans to build a hospital and a university alongside the Babri Masjid in Murshidabad.
