Shahi Jama Masjid’s advocate, Qasim Jamal, told reporters that the application cited a judgment related to the Worship Act, adding that until the Supreme Court hears the case, no other court should take up religious matters. “Neither any case can be heard nor any action can be taken while the Supreme Court’s order is pending and a stay has been imposed until the next hearing,” he said. Jamal further stated that holding a hearing at this stage would violate Supreme Court guidelines. The trial court directed that any objection should be filed by August 28.
