Security tightened in Dhar: MP High Court Verdict Expected Today In Bhojshala Dispute
The Madhya Pradesh High Court was expected to deliver its decision today in the Bhojshala-Kamal Maula Mosque dispute, and officials tightened security in Dhar ahead of the ruling. The court had already reserved judgment after final arguments concluded, so today’s development is about the anticipated verdict rather than a fresh hearing.
The Indore Bench concluded hearing in the case and reserved its decision on May 12, with reports saying no further arguments would be heard and only judgment remained. Multiple outlets said the verdict was set for May 15, and administration in Dhar and nearby areas was placed on alert.
Police deployment was increased around the Bhojshala complex, and surveillance was intensified in sensitive areas to maintain peace and law and order. Local reports also said security was tightened across Dhar district because both sides were closely watching the outcome.
The dispute concerns the religious nature of the Bhojshala-Kamal Maula complex in Dhar, and the court heard final arguments over a long series of proceedings before reserving judgment. Reports said the matter had been argued with reference to ASI material and objections from both Hindu and Muslim.
