Mathura Eidgah case hearing adjourned till Nov 28
Prayagraj: The Allahabad High Court on Tuesday adjourned till Nov 28 the hearing of Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Eidgah title dispute in Mathura.
Justice Ram Manohar Narain Mishra passed this order after hearing both sides.
The Hindu side has filed 18 suits for possession of land after removal of structure of Shahi Eidgah masjid as well as for restoration of temple and for permanent injunction.
Earlier, on Aug 1 the high court had rejected applications of Muslim side challenging maintainability of suits and held that all suits of Hindu worshippers are maintainable. In the Aug 1 order, the court also held that these suits are not barred by Limitation Act, Waqf Act and Places of Worship Act,1991, which prohibits conversion of any religious structure as existed on Aug 15,1947.
Later, on Oct 23 the high court had rejected a plea moved by the Shahi Eidgah mosque committee to recall the high court's Jan 11, 2024 order consolidating all suits filed in connection with the dispute.
The controversy is related to Mughal emperor Aurangazeb-era Shahi Eidgah mosque at Mathura, which is alleged to have been built after demolishing a temple at the birthplace of Lord Krishna.
