Madhya Pradesh HC Hearing in Bhojshala Temple-Kamal Maula Mosque Row
The Madhya Pradesh High Court is set to hear petitions related to the long-standing dispute over the Bhojshala Temple–Kamal Maula Mosque complex in Dhar district, which has remained a sensitive legal and religious issue for years.
The case involves competing claims over the protected monument, with petitioners seeking clarity on the status and usage of the site, which is currently under the supervision of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).
The Bhojshala complex has been at the centre of a prolonged controversy, with different communities asserting historical and religious rights over the structure, leading to repeated legal challenges and administrative interventions.
The matter is being closely watched as it involves questions of heritage protection, religious practices, and regulatory control under Indian archaeological laws.
The High Court hearing is expected to examine the maintainability of the petitions and related legal questions surrounding the classification and management of the disputed site.
Authorities have maintained that the site remains under ASI protection, and any decision will be subject to judicial interpretation and existing conservation norms.
