As the court tightens its belt to hear cases revolving around discrimination against women, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has submitted a revolutionary statement.
AIMPLB has submitted an affidavit in a reply to a plea seeking direction to allow women’s entry into the mosque. The affidavit says that as per Islam, women can enter the mosque and offer prayers too.
The development comes a day after Supreme Court directed that its constitution bench hearing the matter will complete the proceedings in 10 days.
“It cannot take more than 10 days. Even if someone wants more time, it cannot be given,” a separate constitutional bench has said.

The court has a job in hand to ensure both, the Right to Equality and Right To Practice Religion, are taken into consideration in mind while delivering decisions.
