BHOPAL : The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) on Monday submitted its ‘scientific survey’ report on the disputed medieval-era Bhojshala Temple-Kamal Maula Mosque complex to the Madhya Pradesh High Court.
After submitting the more than 2,000-page report to the high court’s registry, ASI’s counsel Himanshu Joshi said, “The hearing in the matter is scheduled for July 22.”
On July 4, the Indore bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court had given two weeks to the ASI to submit its final report on the disputed site in Dhar district.
The ASI was supposed to submit its findings to the court on July 2. However, it had sought four more weeks for data compiling.
On July 2, the ASI told the court that the study of the data compiled during the Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)-Geographic Information System (GIS) survey of the site by the National Geophysical Research Institute (NGRI), Hyderabad, was going on.
While the Hindus consider Bhojshala, an ASI-protected 11th century monument, to be a temple dedicated to Vagdevi (Goddess Saraswati), the Muslim community calls it Kamal Maula Mosque.
Following an arrangement made by the ASI in 2003, Hindus perform puja at the Bhojshala premises on Tuesdays, while the Muslims offer namaz in the complex on Fridays.
