Sambhal Mosque Case on Hold: Supreme Court Directs High Court Hearing

The Supreme Court on Friday ordered the trial court to not proceed with the case till the Shahi Idgah committee of Sambhal mosque moves the High Court.

New Delhi, November 29, 2024 – In a significant judicial development, the Supreme Court on Friday issued an order directing the trial court to halt proceedings in the ongoing Sambhal mosque dispute. The directive comes as the Shahi Idgah committee of Sambhal mosque prepares to move the High Court.

The case, which has been a subject of intense legal scrutiny, involves claims over the land surrounding the historic Shahi Idgah mosque in Sambhal. The Supreme Court’s decision emphasizes the necessity for the committee to first seek recourse in the High Court before any further trial court actions can be taken.

“This pause is essential to ensure that all legal avenues are appropriately explored,” stated the Supreme Court bench. The Shahi Idgah committee is expected to file their appeal with the High Court imminently, a move that could have significant implications for the case and the community.

This ruling underscores the Supreme Court’s role in ensuring a thorough and fair judicial process, allowing for a comprehensive examination of all legal aspects involved in the dispute.
