A Chandausi court in Sambhal district has scheduled July 21 to hear a plea seeking a ban on namaz at the contentious Shahi Jama Masjid site, allegedly a site of Hindu worship.
The filing, initiated by Simran Gupta, argues that the mosque's disputed status should restrain religious activities by any group until a resolution is reached.
The legal proceedings have reached the Allahabad High Court, witnessing violent clashes in Sambhal last November, resulting in several casualties and numerous arrests.
