Today, On 28th February, The Allahabad High Court ruled that no painting will be done at the Jama Masjid in Sambhal, allowing only cleaning of the premises. The decision came after the ASI inspected the site and found no need for painting. The Muslim side had requested painting before Ramadan, but the Hindu side opposed it, citing concerns over evidence tampering. The court’s ruling brings relief to the Hindu side while the Muslim side may present further arguments in the next hearing.
