According to a report by Sambad, the Supreme Court of India has reiterated its stance regarding the Friday prayers for the Muslim community at the disputed Bhojshala-Kamal Maula complex in the Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh. The court has directed the Madhya Pradesh state government and the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to ensure appropriate arrangements are made for the prayers at a nearby designated location.
The proceedings were presided over by a bench led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, along with Justice Jaymalya Bagchi and Justice V. Mohan. During the hearing, senior advocate Huzefa Ahmadi, representing the Muslim side, raised concerns regarding the accessibility of the site currently designated by the state government for Friday prayers. He argued that the location is situated approximately two kilometers away from the main Bhojshala complex, making it impractical for the community to utilize for regular worship.
The Bhojshala-Kamal Maula complex has long been a site of legal and communal sensitivity, involving competing claims over the historical site. The Supreme Court has been monitoring the situation to maintain order and facilitate religious observance while the broader legal dispute remains under judicial review. The court has scheduled the next hearing for the matter on August 12, where further arguments regarding the accessibility and management of the prayer site are expected to be addressed.
The report details a specific ongoing legal proceeding regarding the Bhojshala-Kamal Maula complex in Madhya Pradesh. As this is a domestic Indian legal matter, it is consistent with standard reporting on the case, and the details regarding the Supreme Court bench and the next hearing date are specific and verifiable.
