Allahabad HC Stays Action Against Sambhal Jama Masjid Chairman
Imagine there was a fight at an old mosque during a survey.
The police made some people go to jail.
Zafar Ali, who is in charge of the mosque, was accused.
The High Court said the police can't take any more action against him for now.
He had asked the court to stop the police from charging him with a crime.
The High Court will hear his case and the case of a Member of Parliament together.
Now, everyone will wait to see what happens next.

Ali filed a plea to quash the police charge sheet.
The charge sheet is related to violent clashes during a survey of the Sambhal Jama Masjid.
