The Supreme Court of India on Friday (August 22, 2025) ordered status quo till August 25, 2025 in the Sambhal mosque row and issued notice to the Hindu petitioners. A Bench of Justices P.S. Narasimha and A.S. Chandurkar passed the orders.
The top court was hearing an appeal filed by Masjid committee challenging an order of the Allahabad High Court which dismissed its plea against the survey ordered by a Sambhal court in the Shahi Jama Masjid and Harihar Temple dispute, upholding the civil court's direction for the survey. The High Court said the order to appoint a Court Commissioner and the suit were maintainable.
