Muslim Parties Challenge Namaz Site Distance
There is a dispute over where Muslims can pray on Fridays near the Bhojshala complex in Madhya Pradesh.
The court ordered a spot right next to the complex, but the government chose a place 2 kilometers away.
Muslim groups say this is not following the court's order.
The government says the spot is closer to 900 meters and is looking for a better location.
The court will hear the case again on Friday.
