The Allahabad High Court has allowed the committee of Sambhal’s royal Jama Masjid to dyeing on the outer walls of the mosque. The court partially accepted the application of the Masjid Committee and ordered that dyeing and painting can only be done on the outer walls of the mosque. Apart from this, the High Court said that lighting can also be installed on the outer walls, but this work should be done without damaging any structure.
The Masjid Committee had filed this petition in the Allahabad High Court, in which they sought permission for dyeing and painting. A single bench of Justice Rohit Ranjan Aggarwal ordered the work to be done within a week and directed the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to ensure this.
This order is based on the argument that the outer walls of the mosque can be beautified, provided no structural changes are made or any historical structure is damaged.
Earlier, the Allahabad High Court refused to allow the mosque to paint and paint. In the Jama Masjid case, the Muslim side demanded dyeing and painting. Actually, a petition was filed in the Allahabad High Court on behalf of the Masjid Committee. In this petition, he sought permission to paint the mosque, on which the High Court asked the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to submit the report.
