An appeal before the Supreme Court of India challenges the Madhya Pradesh High Court verdict declaring the Bhojshala–Kamal Maula Mosque Complex a Hindu temple, with petitioner Qazi Moinuddin seeking reversal of the May 15 judgment.
Madras High Court Justice GR Swaminathan G.R. Swaminathan criticised Madurai authorities for failing to light the Karthigai Deepam atop Thiruparankundram Hillock despite clear court directions issued. He said he respects court orders unlike those officials, stressing accountability within the Madras High Court system today.
The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court stayed contempt proceedings over non-compliance with the Thiruparankundram Karthigai Deepam order. Justices N. Sathish Kumar and M. Jothiraman adjourned the matter to April 8 while hearing state appeals.
The Supreme Court refused to hear the Aland Ladle Mashaik Dargah management’s plea seeking to stop Maha Shivaratri and Hindu rituals on its premises, as Justices Dipankar Datta and S.C. Sharma held that an Article 32 petition was not maintainable.
