SC to examine plea to repeal Bodh Gaya temple law · thehansindia.com

Imagine a very important temple, the Mahabodhi Temple, where Buddha became enlightened.

There's a law from 1949 about how to manage it.

Someone thinks this old law is unfair and wants a new one.

They asked the highest court, the Supreme Court, to change it.

The court has agreed to hear their arguments.

They want the old law gone and a new, better one created.

They also want the area around the temple to be cleared of anything that shouldn't be there so people can worship properly.

The court will now consider what everyone has to say about it.
