In 2025, Indian courts adopted a cautious approach to religious disputes, prioritizing stability over definitive rulings. High-profile cases like Gyanvapi in Varanasi and Krishna Janmabhoomi in Mathura saw interim stays and status quo orders rather than conclusive judgments. This pattern of judicial management through temporary measures, rather than final adjudication, characterized the year, suggesting a strategy to prevent unrest while deferring resolution of complex faith, law, and history intersections.
