Actress Kunika Lal moves HC against madrasa on playground

Hearing her petition, justices Sharad Bobade and Rajesh Ketkar asked the Maharashtra government to place before them any order of a court which had ordered demolition of a place of worship located on a playground or road.

This would serve as a precedent and they would accordingly pass an order, the judges said while asking the state to produce such a case law during the hearing of the petition next week.

Kunika said the ground belonged to a school run by an NGO of which she was a trustee. She alleged that a madrasa had come up there in violation of rules. It was run by the Markazul Marif Education Research Centre.
