The freedom of Hindus to worship by placing idols in the mosque inside the Qutub Minar has been challenged in the delhi High Court. The petition was dismissed by the court. Qutub Minar is a historical tourist attraction in Delhi's Mehrauli neighborhood. Qutbuddin Ibn Bakr, the first sultan of the delhi Sultanate, constructed it in 1198. The 'Qawwatul Islam' mosque is located at the entrance to the Archaeological survey of india, which is run by the Central Government. 

Muslims are praying in this manner. Sadhu rishabh Dev, the Hindu monastery's Tirthankar, filed the petition in the delhi High court in december 2020. The petition asked for permission to worship Hindu deity idols inside the Qawwatul islam Mosque. This was credited to delhi sultan Mohammad Ghori's erection of a mosque atop the ruins of Jain and Hindu temples in the Qutub Minar complex. The accused included the Central Department of culture and the Archaeological survey of India.

The petition was filed against the Delhi-based Legal Action Foundation for Justice. As a result, it was specified that religious sites of worship would continue to remain across the country after independence and that no changes or claims of pagan rights may be made in them. The delhi Foundation used Section 39 of the Archaeological survey of india 1904 and 1948 in its plea. It was also mentioned that no religion other than Muslims has been revered in Qutb Minar for the past 800 years.
