The Supreme Court on Friday ordered the Sambhal trial court to halt proceedings concerning the survey of the Mughal-era Shahi Jama Masjid in Chandausi. The apex court also directed the Uttar Pradesh government to ensure peace and harmony in the violence-hit town.
The controversy began on November 19 when a Sambhal civil court, acting on a plea by the Hindu side, ordered a survey of the mosque by an advocate commissioner. The petitioners alleged that the mosque, built in 1526 by Mughal emperor Babur, replaced a temple at the site. The court's decision led to tensions, culminating in violent clashes on November 24 that claimed four lives.
A bench of Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar emphasized the importance of maintaining peace. "Peace and harmony must be maintained," the CJI stated, while acknowledging the state administration's assurances to prevent further unrest.
