Budaun Court Defers Hearing in Temple-Mosque Dispute to August
There's a court case about a temple and a mosque.
The case has been delayed until August 30 because the judge is not available.
The mosque's lawyers say the court shouldn't even be hearing the case, according to rules from the Supreme Court.
The temple's lawyers, however, believe the case should proceed.
The court will decide at the next hearing whether the case can continue.
The case has been postponed multiple times before.
Hearing in the Neelkanth Mahadev v. Shamsi Jama Masjid case was deferred to August 30.
The deferral was due to the judge's absence.
The Masjid committee argued that subordinate courts lack jurisdiction in such religious structure disputes, citing Supreme Court directives.
The temple's legal team stated the August 30 hearing would determine the case's future.
The case has faced multiple adjournments since February due to various reasons.
