The Madhya Pradesh High Court on Tuesday continued to hear arguments in the Bhojshala-Kamal Maula Mosque complex dispute.
During the proceedings, the court observed that it was not necessary that puja or namaz be performed only in a temple or mosque.
The matter was being heard by a Bench of Justices Vijay Kumar Shukla and Alok Awasthi. Justice Shukla observed that advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain, who appeared on behalf of the Hindu petitioners, had made an interesting point that offering namaz at a place would not make it a mosque. “Like that, in a temple, what is the necessity of offering a prayer? There was a belief that God is everywhere,” Justice Shukla observed.
