Bhojshala Dispute: MP HC Chief Justice to Head Bench for Key Cases

• A bench led by the Madhya Pradesh High Court Chief Justice will hear all cases related to the Bhojshala Temple-Kamal Maula Mosque complex dispute in Dhar.
• Four writ petitions from the Indore bench have been transferred to the principal bench in Jabalpur, where a writ appeal is already pending.
• Hindus consider Bhojshala a temple dedicated to Vagdevi, while Muslims claim it as the Kamal Maula Mosque; the complex is ASI-protected.
• Under an existing ASI order, Hindus worship on Tuesdays, and Muslims offer namaz on Fridays.
• The Supreme Court directed the HC to unseal the ASI survey report and maintain status quo at the disputed complex.
