The Allahabad High Court today stayed the Sambhal trial court proceedings till February 25 in a suit claiming that the Chandausi's Shahi Jama mosque was built after destroying a Hindu temple. A bench of Justice Rohit Ranjan Agarwal passed this order on a civil revision plea moved by the Shahi Jama Mosque Committee at Chandausi challenging the trial court's order passed on November 19 directing an Advocate Commissioner to survey the mosque in a suit which claimed that the mosque was built after destroying a temple.
