On Friday, the Supreme Court intervened in the ongoing legal battle over the survey of a mosque in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh, and directed the trial court to halt proceedings until the Shahi Idgah Masjid committee moves the High Court.
The issue revolves around a trial court’s order for a survey of the Shahi Idgah Masjid, which Hindu groups claim was originally a temple demolished by Mughal Emperor Babar in 1526 to build the mosque. The Supreme Court directed the management committee of the mosque to approach the High Court regarding the order, suspending the trial court’s decision for the time being.
A bench of Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar, while hearing the case, ordered that the survey order would remain on hold until the Shahi Idgah committee presents its case before the High Court. The Supreme Court instructed that the petition be listed within three working days, ensuring that the matter is addressed swiftly.
The petition, filed by the mosque committee, challenges the trial court’s decision, which followed claims that the mosque was built over an ancient Hindu temple. However, the Supreme Court has kept the committee’s plea pending, with a hearing scheduled in early January 2025.
This latest ruling brings a temporary halt to the contentious survey, giving the Shahi Idgah Masjid committee a chance to argue its case before the High Court.
