Jama Masjid or Neelkanth Mahadev temple? ASI agrees to survey
The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has given an application in Badaun court, for carrying out a survey of the Jama Masjid there. A lawyer on behalf of the ASI appeared before the court, agreeing to carry out the survey, and also sought time for it.
The court had given 15 days’ time to the ASI for submitting the report.
Mukesh Patel, state president of Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha, had filed an application in the court of civil judge, senior division, Badaun in September 2022, claiming that the Jama Masjid was Neelkanth Mahadev temple that was destroyed and converted into a mosque.
The Mahasabha had sought a survey of the mosque by the ASI. According to Hindu Mahasabha’s advocate Ved Prakash Sahu, the ASI will survey the Jama Masjid and then submit its report in court.
It made three parties to the case: ASI, the state government, and the mosque committee.
