The Supreme Court today asked the Sambhal Trial Court not to proceed in the suit against the Shahi Jama Masjid at Chandausi, till the petition filed by the Masjid Committee against the survey order is listed in the Allahabad High Court.
The Court also directed that the report of the Advocate Commissioner, who conducted the survey of the mosque, should be kept in a sealed cover and should not be opened in the meantime.
A bench comprising Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar was hearing the petition filed by the Sambhal Shahi Jama Masjid Committee challenging the trial court’s order passed on 19th of November, directing an Advocate Commissioner to survey the mosque in a suit which claimed that it was built after destroying a temple.
