On December 15, the Supreme Court refused to stay the High Court’s December 14 order which allowed the primary survey of mosque by a court-monitored three-member team of advocate commissioners.

During the hearing, a decision could not be taken by a three-member team of advocate commissioners regarding the form of survey to be conducted.

The Muslim petitioners argued that their plea in the Krishna Janmabhoomi case was pending in the Supreme Court.

Following this, the High Court decided to reserve its order.
