Overview
- The Indore bench set April 2 for final arguments and directed all sides to file objections, replies and suggestions on the ASI report beforehand.
- Justices Vijay Kumar Shukla and Alok Awasthi said the inspection will be judges-only, with neither petitioners nor respondents present at the site.
- The ASI’s nearly 100‑day survey produced a 2,000‑plus page report indicating a pre‑existing Paramara‑period structure and reuse of temple components in the current complex.
- Muslim petitioners have challenged aspects of the survey and sought full videography and colour photographs to scrutinize the recorded finds.
- The complex remains ASI‑protected under a 2003 practice allowing Tuesday puja for Hindus and Friday namaz for Muslims.
