A bench of Justices DY Chandrachud and PS Narasimha acceded to the request by advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain but directed that the trial court should not hold proceedings or pass any order today.
“It has been prayed by petitioners that proceedings before trial court should not proceed and Mr Jain agrees. We accordingly direct trial court to strictly act according to the arrangement as here and it should desist from passing any orders,” the top court directed.
This was after Senior Counsel Huzefa Ahmadi appearing for Muslim party highlighted that proceedings before trial court are going on and an application has now been filed to demolish a wall near the Wazu Khana.
“There are applications now for sealing other mosques,” Ahmadi said.
“Mr Jain please inform your local counsel there not to proceed. The trial judge does not have a ticker tape there (laughs),” Justice Chandrachud said.
The matter will be heard tomorrow at 3 pm by three-judge bench.
