The Supreme Court of India has reserved its verdict on petitions challenging the Allahabad High Court's ruling that deemed a 2004 Uttar Pradesh law on madrasas unconstitutional, citing violations of secular principles. The Supreme Court emphasized that India's longstanding tradition of religious education should not be marginalized. In a separate case, the Allahabad High Court dismissed a recall application from the Sunni Central Waqf Board concerning its January 11 order, which consolidated 15 lawsuits related to the Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Idgah dispute. The court's decision was viewed as a significant victory for the Hindu side, as it rejected the Muslim side's petition against the consolidation of cases, allowing for a simultaneous hearing of all related civil matters.
