Court sends notice on plea claiming temple inside Ajmer shrine

Civil judge Manmohan Chandel heard the case filed by Vishnu Gupta, the national president of the Hindu Sena, in September under the title "Bhagwan Shri Sankat Mochak Mahadev Virajman vs. Dargah Committee".

The court issued notices to the Union ministry of minority affairs, the Ajmer Dargah Committee, and the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), which has been made a party to this suit. The next hearing is scheduled for December 20.

The petitioner's counsel, Ramswaroop Bishnoi, cited a 1911 book titled Ajmer: Historical and Descriptive by retired judge Harvilas Sharda, who claimed that debris from a Hindu temple were used in building the dargah.
