Looking at the evidence, the court observed that archaeology is a science and findings emerging from scientific studies could be relied upon while deciding the dispute. The sheer weight of the evidence convinced the court that the Bhojshala was a temple.
The court also mentioned that they had taken into consideration the constitutional rights of all parties involved before delivering the verdict.
The court further stated that arrangements for the mosque side will be made separately, including the possibility of allocating alternative land.
Notably, the Muslim side referred to the place as the Kamal Maula Mosque and asserted its religious rights over the site. However, the Indore bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court overruled their claim and looking at the evidence, declared it a Hindu temple.
The evidence examined included the ASI report, scientific evidence, and the inscriptions on the structure.
