The Allahabad High Court on Monday dismissed a plea of the Masjid committee against the survey — ordered by a Sambhal court in the Shahi Jama Masjid and Harihar Temple dispute — upholding the civil court’s direction for the survey.
The court said the order to appoint a court commissioner and the suit were maintainable. The mosque committee had moved the HC against the November 19, 2024, order of the civil judge, directing the survey of the Mughal-era mosque that took place the same day.

After the court’s verdict, the Sambhal police on Monday patrolled key roads of the district in a flag march meant to reinforce calm. SP Krishan Kumar Bishnoi, who led the flag march, warned of strict action if anyone tried to protest unlawfully or circulate provocative messages.
