Supreme Court Grants Relief to Eidgah Committee

In the ongoing Sambhal Mosque dispute, the Supreme Court has provided relief to the Eidgah Committee. It suggested that the committee challenge the survey order in the Allahabad High Court.

The Supreme Court has advised the mosque committee to challenge the survey order for the Shahi Eidgah Mosque in the Allahabad High Court. It has directed officials not to take any action until the High Court hears the matter. "Peace and harmony must be maintained. We are keeping this matter pending and must remain neutral," stated Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna.

The controversy began after a petition was filed claiming that the mosque was built by demolishing a temple.
