Sambhal Court Defers Hearing in Jama Masjid–Shri Harihar Temple Dispute After Supreme Court Stay

A Sambhal court postponed the hearing in the Jama Masjid–Shri Harihar Temple dispute after the Supreme Court issued a stay on proceedings. The sensitive case, linked to violence during a 2024 mosque survey, will now be heard on 8 January. The delay highlights the legal complexity and high-stakes nature of the ongoing dispute.

The scheduled hearing in the high-profile Jama Masjid versus Shri Harihar Temple dispute in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh, was postponed on Monday after a Supreme Court stay order halted all proceedings for the day. Despite the presence of petitioners and other parties involved, the local court was unable to take up the matter, adhering strictly to the apex court’s directive.

The case, considered both legally intricate and socially sensitive, stems from violent clashes that erupted on 24 November 2024 during a survey of the Shahi Jama Masjid in Sambhal. The incident prompted multiple petitions, counterclaims, and legal challenges, culminating in heightened attention from both state authorities and the judiciary.

Court officials confirmed that the Supreme Court’s interim stay was the primary reason for suspending Monday’s hearing. With proceedings stalled, the matter has now been rescheduled for 8 January, when the court is expected to review the status of the ongoing litigation depending on further directions from the higher judiciary.

As tensions remain high and stakeholders await clarity, the new hearing date pushes the dispute further into a prolonged legal trajectory. The postponement underscores the complexity of the case and the critical role the Supreme Court’s interventions continue to play in determining its next steps.
