Waqf Masjid High Court and UP Sunni Central Waqf Board had challenged a 2017 Allahabad High Court order, which gave them three months to move the mosque
The Supreme Court today directed authorities to remove a mosque from the premises of the Allahabad High Court within three months, telling the petitioners opposing the demolition that the structure stood on a terminated lease property and they can't claim it as a matter of right to continue.
The petitioners, Waqf Masjid High Court and UP Sunni Central Waqf Board, had challenged a November 2017 Allahabad High Court order, which had given them three months to move the mosque out of the premises.
The top court dismissed their plea on Monday.
A bench of Justices MR Shah and CT Ravikumar, however, allowed the petitioners to make a representation to the Uttar Pradesh government for allotment of land nearby for the mosque.
