New Delhi, February 28, 2025: The Supreme Court of India ordered a stay on any new construction or renovation work at centuries-old religious sites located inside Mehrauli Archaeological Park, Delhi. This includes the 13th-century Ashiq Allah Dargah and Chillagah of Baba Farid, which hold deep religious significance. A bench led by Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar was hearing a plea from Zameer Ahmed Jumlana. He had approached the court to safeguard these historical religious structures from demolition.
Today(on 22nd July), The Madhya Pradesh High Court’s Indore bench adjourned the hearing on the Bhojshala-Kamal Maula mosque complex dispute after ASI submitted its survey report. The matter will be heard following the Supreme Court’s order. The complex is a site of contention between Hindu and Muslim communities, and a previous order regulates access for worship.
