The Supreme Court of India has halted the municipal department’s notice regarding puja at a well around Sambhal Jama Masjid and issued a notice to the UP government,LiveLaw reported.
The matter arose when the municipal corporation permitted pooja rituals on the well or kuan, to which the Muslim side had objected. After today’s order, the pooja activities have to effectively stop around the area.
The decision regarding the well by bench of Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar was announced after hearing a petition by Sambhal Shahi Jama Masjid Committee which challenged the trial court’s order which has ordered a survey the mosque in a suit which claimed that the Mughal era structure was built after destroying an ancient temple. Notably, the Supreme Court had halted the survey proceeding during an earlier hearing on the same matter.
During this hearing, the petitioner side raised the issue of a municipal department notice claiming a well or kuan of the masjid to be a temple.
The CJI objected at first, and questioned what was the harm of a public well being used by the public? The petitioners responded, Now what they say is- in the notice it is called ‘Hari Mandir’, now they will start using it for pooja , bathing etc." Ahmadi submitted adding that the well was being used for the purposes of the Mosque.
After the municipal notice, the mosque committee lodged an application regarding the well. There were posters around the area announcing the well to be a part of ‘Hari Mandir’.
