Sambhal: Allahabad HC to Hold Hearing Today on Shahi Jama Masjid Case

Published

on

The Allahabad High Court is set to hear a petition concerning the Shahi Jama Masjid in Sambhal on Tuesday. This high-profile case will be addressed by a bench led by Justice Rohit Ranjan Agarwal at 10 a.m. The mosque management committee has submitted the petition seeking approval to whitewash the mosque premises in preparation for Ramzan, a request that has sparked considerable controversy in recent months.

During the upcoming hearing, a team from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) will present a report on the mosque’s cleanliness. The ASI had previously been instructed by the court to conduct an inspection and ensure the site is clean. In addition, the mosque committee’s legal representatives will respond to the ASI’s findings.

In response to the mosque management’s plea, the court had previously issued an order on Friday directing the ASI to clean the Shahi Jama Masjid premises, but did not authorize the whitewashing ahead of Ramzan. The ASI has also been tasked with appointing a trio of officers to inspect the mosque and report their observations.

This case has become a central point of legal, historical, and communal discussion, and its resolution is anticipated to significantly affect the area’s religious dynamics as well as its legal framework. The unfolding events will be closely monitored by local communities and legal analysts alike.

The controversy over the mosque’s origins arises from claims that the Shahi Jama Masjid was built following the demolition of the historic Harihar Temple, which some believe was situated on the same site. Tensions surrounding the mosque’s history escalated after a court-ordered survey conducted on November 24, 2024, which incited violent clashes resulting in four fatalities, further complicating this sensitive religious and historical dispute.
