A division bench comprising Justice Vijay Kumar Shukla and Justice Alok Awasthi passed the order while hearing multiple writ petitions and an appeal filed by various parties, including Hindu Front for Justice, against the Union of India and other respondents.
During the hearing, senior advocate Salman Khurshid, appearing for one of the respondents, referred to a recent order of the Supreme Court, which stated that objections arising from videography at the disputed site must also be considered.
Referring to the apex court s direction, the High Court said it must examine all objections, both previously raised and those emerging from the videographic record, while ensuring adherence to principles of natural justice.
Taking into account the Supreme Court s January 22 order and its own directions issued on March 11, the High Court fixed a consolidated hearing for all related matters.
The dispute concerns Bhojshala, an 11th-century monument in Dhar protected by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). The site holds religious significance for both Hindus and Muslims.
