A Bench comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana was hearing multiple contempt pleas arising out of the Court's November 2024 judgment, which had laid down safeguards against demolishing the homes of persons accused of crimes.
Senior Advocate Huzefa Ahmadi, appearing in one of the contempt petitions, alleged illegal demolition of mosques in Somnath and said it was an "egregious violation" of the apex court's judgment.
He urged the Court to intervene directly.
He submitted that the structure stood on private land backed by a registered sale deed and a sanctioned plan, and that the action followed a politician's letter questioning "how can you have Asia's largest mosque in this particular State."
