India, May 3 -- The municipal corporation court in Shimla on Saturday declared the entire mosque in Sanjauli area unauthorised and ordered the demolition of the entire five-floor structure.

MC commissioner Bhupender Kumar Attri ruled that the mosque had been built without necessary permissions, including a building permit, a no-objection certificate and a sanctioned map, in violation of rules. He ordered the demolition of the lower two floors as well in addition to the three floors that were ordered to be demolished in October last year.

This puts to rest the case that had been heard more than 50 times in the MC commissioner's court over the past 15 years.

The detailed copy of the order was awaited.

The order comes after the Waqf Boar...
