The Muslim community has filed a Special Leave Petition (SLP) in the Supreme Court of India, challenging the Madhya Pradesh High Court's ruling that designated the Bhojshala Complex in Dhar as a temple dedicated to Goddess Saraswati. Quazi Moinuddin, the caretaker of the Kamal Maula mosque, spearheaded the petition, asserting that the site has historically served as a mosque. The High Court's decision quashed parts of a 2003 Archaeological Survey of India arrangement that had limited Hindu worship rights while allowing Muslim prayers. Following the ruling, the Muslim community has decided not to offer Namaz at the Bhojshala Complex until the Supreme Court issues a stay order. Abdul Samad, President of the Kamal Maulana Welfare Society, confirmed the filing of the SLP and expressed the community's commitment to peaceful worship. He stated that if the court imposes any restrictions, the community will comply while also maintaining their right to practice their faith. For the immediate future, Muslims have been advised to conduct prayers at home or in private spaces, adhering to any legal directives.
