Madhya Pradesh High Court allows unrestricted Hindu access to Bhojshala temple

The Madhya Pradesh High Court on July 25 permitted unrestricted Hindu access to the Bhojshala-Kamal Maula complex in Dhar, Madhya Pradesh, after the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) submitted its survey report. The court’s order comes in a long-standing dispute over the site’s religious and archaeological status. The ASI had earlier stated that the complex contains both a medieval mosque and a 11th-century temple, necessitating balanced access. The court directed authorities to ensure security and maintain the site’s heritage integrity. The verdict is expected to be challenged in the Supreme Court.
