The Supreme Court today warned that Chief Secretaries will have to personally appear before it if the states fail to comply with its directions to remove or relocate unauthorised places of worship in public places. A bench headed by Justice Dalveer Bhandari also granted two weeks time to the states to file their responses on the issue. The apex court was furious after noting that despite several hearings many of the states have so far not filed their affidavits and compliance reports on the issue. The bench had earlier asked the states and Union Territories (UTs) to ensure that no unauthorised temple, mosque, churches, gurudwaras and other places of worship were allowed to exist on roads, pavements or on other public places as they were causing traffic snarls, congestions and inconvenience to the people all over the country.
