Malali Mosque management seeks quashing of VHP petition

Mangaluru: The Malali mosque management on Tuesday made a submission to the local court to quash the VHP’s demand to appoint a court commissioner to survey the Juma Masjid.

The Third Additional Civil Court will take up the matter on Tuesday. The court is likely to take a decision on whether to order a survey there.

The Temple structure was found on April 21 during the renovation of the Malali mosque, stirring up controversy.

Following the controversy, the court had ordered the management of Assayed Abdullahil Madani Mosque administrative committee to stop the work.
