The court emphasized that a Gurudwara has been operating there for years, instructing the waqf board to relinquish its claim in light of this fact.
This decision affirms the Delhi High Court's 2010 ruling, further indicating the Gurudwara has been on the premises since 1947, despite previous contentions about a mosque.
