The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a petition challenging Allahabad High Court’s 2017 order to remove a mosque situated inside the High Court’s premises for encroachment. The apex court directed authorities to remove the encroachment from the premises of the court within three months. A bench of Justices MR Shah and CT Ravikumar, however, allowed the petitioners to make a representation to the UP government for allotment of land nearby for the mosque.
