  "summary": "The Supreme Court has reserved orders on a petition filed by the Sambhal Jama Masjid committee, challenging a survey ordered by a trial court in a 2024 suit filed by Hindu plaintiffs who claim that the site was originally a temple. The Allahabad High Court had upheld the survey in May 2025, against which the Masjid committee had moved the Supreme Court. The court clarified that the suit is still pending, and what is to be decided by the court is the validity of the survey ordered in those proceedings. The violence that erupted near the Shahi Jama Masjid on November 24, 2024, resulted in at least four deaths and several injuries during protests against the court-ordered survey.",
