Sambhal Jama Masjid: Supreme Court stops trial court proceedings, directs UP govt to maintain peace

During the Friday prayer at the Masjid, UP Police kept a tight vigil using drones as people started to arrive at Sambhal’s Shahi Jama Masjid.

The Supreme Court on Friday directed a Sambhal trial court to temporarily halt proceedings in the case over the Mughal-era Shahi Jama Masjid and its survey at Chandausi. It also directed the Uttar Pradesh government to maintain peace and harmony in the violence-hit town.

A bench consisting of Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar also instructed the local administration to take all the necessary measures to ensure peace and harmony in the region.

The Apex Court was hearing a petition filed by the Sambhal Shahi Jama Masjid Committee against a trial court direction allowing a survey of the Mosque to verify whether it was built on the ruins of a temple.

While the court clarified that it is not making any observations on the merits of the dispute, it has opted to keep the mosque committee’s petition in abeyance. The further hearing on the matter has been listed for January 6 next year. 

Meanwhile, the Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government has constituted a three-member committee to look into the matter and submit its report in the next two months. The three-member committee is headed by former Allahabad High Court judge Devendra Kumar Arora, while the other two members are former IPS officers Amit Mohan Prasad and Arvind Kumar Jain.

“We will abide by the orders of the honourable Supreme Court. We will maintain law and order in Sambhal. Orders have been given for a judicial investigation. We will take strict against all the culprits after an impartial probe,” said Uttar Pradesh Deputy CM Brajesh Pathak on the Apex Court order.

Sambhal MP Ziaur Rahman, speaking on the matter, said: “Our demand is that the commission to be constituted should be under the supervision of sitting judges of the Supreme Court and High Court. Only then can we hope for an honest investigation.”

“Death of four and injuries to several people is a serious issue. I welcome the decision of the Supreme Court. It has directed that no steps will be taken without the High Court. In a way, it has said that the lower court does not have any jurisdiction,” said Congress MP Pramod Tiwari on the Supreme Court order.

During the Friday prayer at the Masjid, UP Police kept a tight vigil using drones as people started to arrive at Sambhal’s Shahi Jama Masjid.

“Today, the Supreme Court has delivered a very significant interim order. There are three to four key points: the SC has directed the district administration to ensure peace and harmony in Sambhal. It has stayed proceedings in the suit pending before the civil judge in Sambhal until the Jama Masjid committee approaches the High Court, and the High Court decides on the challenge to the original interim order,” said Sulaiman Khan, advocate for the Muslim side.

“Today, a petition was filed before the Supreme Court. The court first emphasised maintaining peace and harmony in the area. Subsequently, the SC granted the mosque committee, which had filed the SLP, the liberty to challenge the order in the High Court. It also directed that if the petition is filed within three days, it should be listed promptly in the High Court,” said Vishnu Jain, advocate for the Hindu side.

The Hindu pursuers have claimed that the mosque was established by Mughal emperor Babar in 1526 following the demolition of a structure known as the “Harihar Temple.” On November 24, an outbreak of violence occurred in Sambhal during the execution of a survey, resulting in the fatalities of four individuals and injuries to numerous others, including police personnel.

Nagpur violence: Maharashtra CM Fadnavis vows to recover damage cost from rioters, warns of bulldozer action

He also dismissed any political angle or foreign involvement in the violence, stating, “No foreign hand or Bangladeshi link has surfaced. There is no political angle to the violence.”

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday announced that the cost of public property damaged during the recent violence in Nagpur will be recovered from the rioters. He warned that if the perpetrators fail to pay, their assets will be seized, and bulldozers will be used wherever necessary.

“Whatever damage has occurred will be recovered from the rioters. If they do not pay, their property will be sold to cover the costs. Wherever required, bulldozers will also be used,” Fadnavis stated.

The violence erupted in central Nagpur on March 17 following rumours that a “chadar” (cloth) with holy inscriptions was burnt during protests organized by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP). The protests were demanding the removal of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb’s tomb in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. The clashes resulted in injuries to several police personnel, including three deputy commissioners of police (DCPs), and extensive damage to vehicles and homes. A 40-year-old man succumbed to injuries while undergoing treatment on Saturday.

Fadnavis revealed that 104 individuals have been arrested so far based on CCTV footage, with more arrests expected. “Police action will be taken against those involved in the riots or aiding the rioters. Those spreading rumors on social media will also be made co-accused. So far, 68 social media posts have been identified and deleted,” he said.

The Chief Minister also addressed reports of female constables being molested during the violence, clarifying that such claims were untrue. “Stones were hurled at female police constables, but reports of molestation are false,” Fadnavis stated, according to PTI.

While acknowledging that intelligence gathering could have been better, Fadnavis denied that the incident was an “intelligence failure.” He also dismissed any political angle or foreign involvement in the violence, stating, “No foreign hand or Bangladeshi link has surfaced. There is no political angle to the violence.”

Yuzvendra Chahal’s ‘be your own sugar daddy’ T-shirt during divorce hearing stirs online criticism

Yuzvendra Chahal drew flak for wearing a “be your own sugar daddy” T-shirt during his divorce hearing with Dhanashree Verma.

Cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal has found himself at the center of a social media storm after being spotted wearing a T-shirt with the slogan “be your own sugar daddy” during his divorce hearing with estranged wife Dhanashree Verma.

The phrase, often associated with financial independence laced in internet slang, was seen by many as an ill-timed and provocative choice, particularly given the sensitive context of the legal proceedings.

The final hearing in the couple’s divorce case brought an end to months of public speculation and trolling, especially directed at Dhanashree Verma over alleged alimony demands. While earlier rumours claimed she sought Rs 60 crore in settlement, Chahal was eventually ordered to pay Rs 4.75 crore in alimony.

Online reaction to the T-shirt

Social media users were quick to notice Chahal’s outfit choice, with many calling it immature and a public dig at his former partner. The phrase “be your own sugar daddy” is often used online to promote financial self-reliance but can also carry sarcastic or cheeky undertones, especially when worn during a public legal matter.

Critics argued that Chahal’s attire at a divorce hearing seemed inappropriate and insensitive, especially as Dhanashree has been repeatedly subjected to online trolling over the financial aspects of their separation. While Chahal did not comment on the T-shirt or the reaction to it, the moment has gone viral, triggering debates about personal conduct in public legal proceedings and the responsibility of public figures during sensitive personal events.

The controversy also comes at a time when celebrity divorces and their legal details often play out in the public eye, blurring the line between privacy and public perception.
