Muslim petitioners have announced they will challenge a Madhya Pradesh High Court ruling that declared the disputed Bhojshala structure in Dhar as a Saraswati temple. Their lawyer says the Archaeological Survey of India scientific survey and report relied on by the court were “flawed”. He also argued the matter should not have been handled under Article 226 writ jurisdiction and instead should go to a civil court. Hindu petitioners have filed a Supreme Court caveat, while the High Court’s decision quashed an ASI 2003 order permitting Friday prayers.
The Bombay High Court allowed withdrawal of a writ petition contesting the Sir Ratan Tata Trust’s life trustee structure. The court held the petitioner lacked standing to bring the challenge. While the petition claimed the trust’s board composition violated new state laws and sought to overturn trust decisions, the case did not proceed on its merits.
