The Supreme Court on Friday refused to entertain a petition seeking a direction to restrain the construction or naming of any mosque or religious structure in the name of Mughal emperor Babur.The petitioner’s counsel referred to suspended TMC MLA Humayun Kabir’s announcement to construct a replica of the Babri Masjid in West Bengal’s Murshidabad district.However, as a Bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta was not inclined to entertain the petition, he chose to withdraw it.The petitioner had sought a direction to the Centre, states and others to consider the petitioner’s case for restraining or banning the construction, establishment or naming of any mosque or religious structure in the name of Babur or Babri Masjid or any other derivative names across India.
