PRAYAGRAJ: The Archeological Survey of India (ASI) on Monday filed a survey report through pen drive before the Allahabad High Court in the dispute relating to Jama Masjid and Harihar temple at Sambhal.
Besides, a hard copy of the counter affidavit filed by ASI was supplied to the revisionist counsel in the court. A counter affidavit on behalf of the state government was also served to the revisionist's counsel.
While taking the hard copies of the counter affidavits filed by ASI and the state government on record, Justice Rohit Ranjan Agarwal directed that the case be put up as fresh on May 13 for next hearing.
Earlier, the high court had stayed the trial court proceedings of original suit till next date pending before the district court at Sambhal, where Hindu side plaintiff had sought declaration to the effect that they have the right of access into Shri Hari Har Temple, which is Jami Masjid situated in Sambhal.
Now, according to the court's direction, this stay will continue till the next date of the listing. The present civil revision was filed after the order of the Supreme Court in this regard challenging the entire proceedings as well as maintainability of suit before Sambhal district court.

Hari Shankar Jain and seven others have filed a suit before the court of civil judge senior division, Sambhal, on the plea that Shahi Eidgah mosque was built after demolishing a temple at Sambhal.
