Legal battle over Sambhal Jama Masjid intensifies with ancient map evidence

A legal dispute over Sambhal Jama Masjid is ongoing, with conflicting claims about whether it is a mosque or the site of a temple. A survey has been conducted, and the next court hearing is pending. A recently surfaced 1,100-year-old map is being used by the Hindu faction to support their claim that the site was originally the Harihar Temple. The Muslim faction disputes this, citing the 1991 Places of Worship Act. The court will determine the validity of these claims. The admissibility of the map as evidence remains uncertain as the case progresses.
