In the last hearing, the court ordered the digitization of all documents related to the case.

The High Court has been hearing petitions filed in the case since October 2023.

A total of 18 lawsuits have been filed for the temple’s restoration and a permanent injunction.

The High Court is hearing the case directly, similar to the Ayodhya dispute.
