MP high court tells ASI to submit Bhojshala complex survey report by July 15
Hindustan TimesBhopal: The Indore bench of the Madhya Pradesh high court has asked the Archaeological Survey of India to submit its survey report on the Bhojshala-Kamal Maula mosque complex in the state’s Dhar district by July 15. The ASI had on July 2 sought four-week time to submit the survey report, which was conducted over 12 weeks to know the religious identity of the disputed 11th century monument Bhojshala. The court had previously asked the ASI to submit its complete survey report by July 2, but the agency moved a plea seeking another four weeks for submission of the report. On the lines of a Supreme Court directive for a survey within the Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi, the high court’s Indore bench on March 11 directed ASI to conduct a scientific survey of the Bhojshala complex on an application filed by the Hindu organisation and asked to submit the report within six weeks which was later extended to 12 weeks.
