The Supreme Court of India has rejected a petition aimed at halting the construction of a mosque named after Babri Masjid in Murshidabad. The plea argued that Mughal emperor Babar was an “anti-Hindu invader” responsible for atrocities against Hindus. Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta presided over the case and dismissed the request after hearing brief arguments from the petitioner.
