ABOUT:

 

  • The Karnataka Religious Structure (Protection) Bill 2021 aims to empower the government to protect religious structures in public places that were constructed before the commencement of this Act. 

 

  • The Bill offers protection to all religious structures that include temples, mosques, churches, gurudwaras, and other major religious constructions in public places that have been constructed since 2009 without requisite sanction from competent authorities.

 

  • The Bill further here on now restricts unauthorized religious structures and constructions of illegal shrines in public places in the future.

 

  • The Bill also protects the government and its officials from any legal suits or court proceedings for implementing the Act. 

 

  • The Bill bypasses all existing laws, decrees, judgments, or orders of any court, tribunal, or authority to protect religious structures that exist on the day the Bill commences. 

 

Supreme Court 2009 judgment:
  • The Supreme Court judgment dated September 29, 2009, on illegal religious constructions, had directed all states to demolish illegal religious structures stating that no unauthorized construction in the name of gods or religion can be allowed on streets, parks, or any public places.

 

  • However, the demolition of the Nanjangud temple on September 10, forced the Karnataka government to introduce a law to protect all religious structures.
