Advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain, Spokesperson, Hindu Front for Justice and Supreme court advocate, provided information on the petitions filed for protection of Hindu Dharma in court. He encouraged advocates to file petitions for protection of Dharma irrespective of whether the petition is won or lost.
Petitions were filed in court for the following
- Following the demolition of Babri Masjid on 6th December 1992 Hindus were prohibited from taking darshan of Shriram at Ramjanmabhoomi. A petition was filed with the plea that darshan of Shriram is the birthright of every Hindu and that even the pages of the Constitution of India have a picture of Shriram as He is considered a historical and a constitutional personage. Accepting this, the Allahabad High Court granted permission for darshan from 1 January 1993.
- When Sonia Gandhi was contesting elections, a petition was filed on her being an Italian citizen. The courts took cognisance of our petition which said that acquiring Indian citizenship through marriage to an Indian is a threat to the security of the country.
- Subsidy for Haj pilgrimage
- Animal sacrifice for Bakri-Id
- Bangladeshi Infiltration
- Ban on Shriram Sena’s Mr. Pramod Mutalik from entering Goa
- Taj Mahal built in place of Agreshwar Mahadev shrine

- Disrespectful reference to Hindus in the book Turbulent Tears 1980-1996, written by Former President Pranab Mukherji etc
- The Samajwadi Party Government of Akhilesh Yadav had promised the release of terrorists in its election manifesto. On coming to power the order to that effect was also passed but we appealed to the court against it. This matter is still pending in the High Court.
- Under Samajwadi Pension Plan, Muslims were given special benefits. We appealed against it in the Court.
- We appealed against naming a University after Mohammed Ali Jinnah who was responsible for the partition of India.
- We filed a petition against the insertion of the term ‘Secular’ in the Constitution.
- Muslims had demanded for land in the new campus of the Lucknow Court for namaz and also to build a mosque. As it was not possible to directly protest against it, Hindu Advocates asked for permission for the construction of a temple for puja in the same premises. The courts gave a ruling that land will not be allotted either for a mosque or a temple.
- The Police administration in Lucknow had opposed the Durgapuja procession. We demanded that the procession be permitted on any route along with police protection as it the right of Hindus. The District Magistrate did not grant permission stating that the district was Muslim majority. Though our efforts were unsuccessful, using this decision Hindus can now demand a ban on Tajib procession in Hindu majority districts.
