Supreme Court Reserves Verdict on Sambhal Mosque-Temple Survey Dispute
The Supreme Court reserved its verdict on petitions filed by the Sambhal Jama Masjid management challenging a survey order related to the Shahi Jama Masjid-Harihar temple dispute in Uttar Pradesh. The bench of Justices PS Narasimha and Alok Aradhe heard submissions from the mosque committee, Hindu plaintiffs, and the Uttar Pradesh government, which stated it would not take sides but protect all interests. The court earlier directed parties to maintain status quo while the survey's legality remains contested.
