He also stated that the Muslim side will approach the Supreme Court.
The High Court bench met on Friday to deliver its verdict on the Dhar Bhojshala case. The judge stated that they are grateful to all the lawyers who assisted the court. The court stated that they examined the facts and the ASI Act. Archaeology is a science. The conclusions reached based on it can be trusted. Furthermore, the fundamental rights guaranteed under the Constitution must also be considered. It was a center of Sanskrit education during the reign of King Bhoj of the Parmar dynasty. It was a temple dedicated to the goddess Saraswati.
Hindus have the right to worship. The government and ASI should also consider providing Sanskrit education there. Regarding the question of bringing the Goddess Saraswati statue back to India and installing it in a temple, the central government should consider it. The Muslim side can apply to the government for land for a mosque. The mosque should be located in a location that does not create a dispute between the two parties. The High Court also stated that the 2003 ASI order allowing Muslims to offer prayers there is revoked. The ASI should continue to protect the premises.
