The Supreme Court ordered officials to remove a mosque from the Allahabad High Court grounds within three months, telling petitioners who were opposed to the demolition that the building was on land with a terminated lease and that they could not continue to claim a legal title to it.
In November 2017, the Allahabad High Court issued an order giving the petitioners, Waqf Masjid High Court and UP Sunni Central Waqf Board, three months to remove the mosque from the property.
On Monday, the highest court rejected their appeal.
