Sambhal Temple-Mosque Dispute Case Hearing Deferred to August 21
A court case about a mosque and a temple in Sambhal, India, is ongoing.
Some people believe the mosque was built on top of an old temple.
A court-ordered survey was done to investigate this, but it caused problems.
The case was supposed to be heard in court, but it was delayed because the local lawyers were on strike.
The court date has been moved to August 21st.
The High Court has already said that the lower court can continue with the case and the survey.
Civil court in Chandausi defers hearing on the Shahi Jama Masjid-Harihar temple dispute.
The hearing was postponed to August 21 due to a local bar association strike.
The Allahabad High Court upheld the lower court's order for a court-monitored survey.
The dispute centers on claims that the mosque was built over a pre-existing temple.
A court-ordered survey in November led to unrest, resulting in deaths and injuries.
