Ending uncertainty in the Bhojshala dispute, the Supreme Court has identified the exact site where Friday namaz can be offered near the disputed complex, directing the State to facilitate prayers every Friday. Why did the Supreme Court step in again? However, the Supreme Court observed that ensuring law and order is the State's constitutional responsibility and cannot by itself become a reason to overlook religious rights. The main case stems from the Madhya Pradesh High Court's judgment declaring the disputed Bhojshala premises to be a temple dedicated to Goddess Saraswati. That verdict has been challenged before the Supreme Court, where the larger dispute remains pending.
