Sambhal Jama Masjid Supreme Court Hearing Updates: A Supreme Court bench led by Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna is set to hear a petition against the Sambhal Jama Masjid survey. Earlier on November 19, a civil court in Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal had passed an ex-parte order, appointing an advocate commissioner to survey the Shahi Jama Masjid in the Chandausi area of the city. The order came after a Hindu priest moved the court, claiming that the mosque was built after demolishing a temple.
However, clashes erupted during the second time a team of Survey officials arrived at the mosque. Five people were killed and over two dozen, including the police and administrative officers, suffered injuries in the brawl.
