A legal battle is underway in the UK High Court after Peterborough City Council sold the site housing the 40-year-old Bharat Hindu Samaj Temple to the Khadijah Mosque, part of the United Kingdom Islamic Mission. The temple, established in 1986 by Indian families expelled from Uganda, serves nearly 14,000 Hindus across eastern England. Trustees claim their £1.3 million bid to buy the property was overlooked and have challenged the council’s decision as unlawful. The council says the sale followed a fair process. The court’s ruling will determine the future of the region’s only Hindu temple.
