Muslim residents of Dhar have approached the Supreme Court to contest a recent ruling by the Madhya Pradesh High Court, which declared the Bhojshala complex a temple. The petitioners, represented by Advocate Ashhar Warsi, claim the High Court's decision is unilateral and legally flawed, lacking a thorough examination of the facts. They argue that, given an ongoing civil suit regarding the site, all parties should be directed to pursue remedies through the civil court. The Bhojshala complex is contested by both the Hindu and Muslim communities, with Hindus asserting it is a temple dedicated to Goddess Saraswati, while Muslims maintain it is the Kamal Maula mosque. Following the High Court's ruling, the Muslim community has expressed intentions to refrain from prayers at the site due to administrative restrictions. Notices have been issued to relevant authorities, including the Archaeological Survey of India and government departments, as the petitioners await the Supreme Court's response.
