SC allows Friday prayers at dargah near Bhojshala

The Supreme Court on Thursday permitted Muslims to offer Friday prayers at a dargah adjacent to the disputed Bhojshala complex in Dhar, Madhya Pradesh, between 1 pm and 3 pm. The interim order by a bench led by Chief Justice Surya Kant followed allegations of non-compliance with a previous directive for an alternative prayer site. The court clarified that the order does not preclude the state government and the Muslim side from mutually exploring another site for Friday prayers.
