A lower court's order of a survey at the Mughal-era Shahi Jama Masjid of Sambhal that triggered massive violence in which four people died and many were injured, has been challenged in the Supreme Court.

The plea has sought an ex-parte stay on the operation of the November 19 order directing a survey of a Mughal-era mosque in Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal.
