On Monday, the local court deferred its hearing to November 25 regarding the jurisdictional debate in the Neelkanth Mahadev Temple and Shamsi Jama Masjid case.
Civil Judge (Senior Division)/FTC Judge Pushpendra Chaudhary postponed the case after evaluating the file. The case has shifted venues multiple times due to judicial leave and legal debates.
The dispute traces back to 2022, when Mukesh Patel claimed a temple at the mosque site, leading to legal challenges balanced on Supreme Court orders and the 1991 Places of Worship Act. The court will address these jurisdictional issues next month.
