MP High Court to Deliver Verdict on Bhojshala Temple-Kamal Maula Mosque Dispute

The Madhya Pradesh High Court is set to deliver its verdict on May 15 regarding the Bhojshala Temple-Kamal Maula Mosque complex dispute in Dhar district. The case involves petitions from Hindu, Muslim, and Jain communities, each claiming the site as a temple, mosque, or medieval Jain gurukul, respectively. The Archaeological Survey of India’s report suggests the structure predates the mosque and was built using temple components, a finding contested by the Muslim side as biased. Hearings began on April 6, with the court reserving its decision on May 12.
