On Thursday, the court commissioner presented a comprehensive survey report of Sambhal’s Jama Masjid to the Chandausi Civil Judge (Senior Division). The report, which includes detailed videography from multiple angles, was compiled during surveys conducted on November 19 and November 24.
Court Commissioner Ramesh Singh Raghav, appointed by the court as the advocate for the case, informed reporters that the survey focused on the Shahi Jama Masjid in Sambhal. The site has been the subject of a legal dispute, with claims suggesting that a Harihar temple previously existed at the same location.
“The survey was conducted in strict adherence to the court’s directives. The detailed report, accompanied by videographic evidence, has been submitted to the Civil Judge Senior Division in a sealed envelope,” Raghav said.
The document, believed to span 40 to 45 pages, includes findings and visual records captured during the survey. The submission followed the guidelines set by the Supreme Court to ensure confidentiality and procedural compliance.
The case has drawn significant attention, with parties on both sides awaiting the court’s review of the findings. Further hearings are expected to shed light on the next steps in resolving the dispute.
