Chandausi Court Defers Sambhal Temple–Mosque Case to August 28

The delay follows a plea invoking a Supreme Court stay on cases linked to the Places of Worship Act.

During the hearing, Masjid committee’s counsel Shakeel Ahmad Warsi submitted an SC order in which the apex court stayed proceedings in all matters linked to the Places of Worship Act. (For Representation)

Overview

  • Masjid committee counsel Shakeel Ahmad Warsi cited the Ashwini Kumar v Union of India order staying proceedings connected to the Places of Worship Act.
  • The application contends the local court lacks jurisdiction because related issues are pending before the Supreme Court.
  • Civil judge (senior division) Aditya Kumar Singh listed the next hearing for August 28 and permitted all parties to file objections by that date.
  • Hindu petitioners, through advocate Shri Shri Gopal Sharma, opposed the move and said the mosque side should first submit its written statement.
  • The dispute follows November 2024 surveys at the Shahi Jama Masjid that preceded unrest causing four deaths, with the Allahabad High Court in May upholding a court‑monitored survey.
