An appeal has been filed in this matter for seeking grant Hindus and Jains the right to worship inside the Qutub Minar complex.
Counsel for Hindu side opposed before the intervention Application (IA) filed on behalf of Pratap Singh by submitting that the same should be dismissed with severe penalties because it is nothing more than a publicity gimmick. He submitted that the intervenor is claiming property rights after 102 years and having no interest in receiving any sort of court redress.
