Soon after passing the order, CJM Vibhanshu Sudhir was transferred from Sambhal.

The violent clashes erupted during a survey of the Shahi Jama Masjid in Sambhal district of Uttar Pradesh on November 19, 2024. The survey, ordered by the court and part of a legal process following a petition filed by senior advocate Vishnu Shanker Jain, sought to determine whether the mosque was originally a temple.

Three people were killed, and nearly two dozen, including policemen and senior officials, were injured during the clashes. Police had to use tear gas and appeal to the stone pelters to control the situation.

In October last year, the Supreme Court granted bail to three accused persons, Mohammad Danish, Faizan and Nazir, who were arrested for their alleged involvement in the violence. (ANI)
