flag India's Supreme Court allows whitewashing of Sambhal's Shahi Jama Masjid despite character concerns.

flag The Supreme Court of India has refused to intervene in an Allahabad High Court order that allowed the Archaeological Survey of India to whitewash the exterior of the Shahi Jama Masjid in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh. flag The high court had ordered the work due to flaking on the mosque walls and required the mosque committee to reimburse the expenses. flag Despite claims that the action could alter the mosque's character, the Supreme Court dismissed the plea, noting no significant prejudice. flag This decision comes amid a longstanding dispute over the mosque's religious significance.
