A critical legal report on the Babri Masjid judgment argues that India's Supreme Court did not settle a single property dispute in 2019 — it established a reusable method for deciding whose faith counts as evidence, now visible in mosque cases from Sambhal to Dhar.
A new critical report on the 2019 Babri Masjid judgment argues the Supreme Court didn't just decide one disputed plot of land — it wrote a template now being used against mosques across India.
Saharanpur MP Imran Masood says the demolition of the mosque inside the district collectorate was illegal, that the case belongs in court rather than on the street, and that he will protect the mosque and the temple alike.
As the collectorate mosque comes down in a disputed overnight demolition, Saharanpur's Congress MP lays out the land records he says prove the drive was illegal — and appeals to Muslims to fight it in court, not the street.
A pre-dawn bulldozing at the Saharanpur collectorate has set colonial-era land records, a 1991 law meant to freeze the status quo, and a decades-old post office lease against the government's claim that the mosque was an illegal encroachment.
A century-old mosque inside Saharanpur's district collectorate was bulldozed before dawn, and the paper trail its defenders cite raises hard questions about how the demolition was carried out.
