Madhya Pradesh High Court Seeks State's Stand In Plea To Remove "Unauthorized Religious Shrines" In Police Stations, Orders Status Quo

The Madhya Pradesh High Court ordered a status quo on the construction of unauthorized religious shrines within police station premises. The court sought the state government’s stand on a plea demanding the removal of these shrines, which allegedly violate Supreme Court and High Court orders against unauthorized constructions on public land. The petitioner argued that such constructions compromise the secular nature of government premises and undermine public trust in law enforcement. The court issued notices to the state government and directed all parties to maintain the status quo until the next hearing.
