Prayagraj, March 28: The Allahabad High Court has postponed the hearing related to the Mathura Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi and Shahi Idgah Mosque dispute, originally scheduled for Saturday. The next hearing will now take place on April 10. This highly publicized and sensitive case has drawn national attention.
For several months, the court has been reviewing petitions related to this dispute. The Hindu side has filed petitions demanding the removal of the Shahi Idgah Mosque and asserting rights over the disputed land. The court is expected to determine the next steps regarding these petitions on April 10.
Currently, there are a total of 18 petitions pending from the Hindu side in the High Court. Meanwhile, the mosque side submitted an application under Section 151 of the Civil Procedure Code on August 22, seeking a stay on the proceedings of all consolidated cases, which the court will also consider.
This matter is not limited to the High Court; various aspects are also under review in the Supreme Court. The ongoing proceedings in both courts have made this dispute a topic of national discussion.
Notably, this disputed site in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, has long been the center of legal and historical debates. The Hindu side claims that during the reign of Mughal ruler Aurangzeb in the 17th century, the ancient Keshavdev Temple was demolished to construct the mosque. They assert that this site is the birthplace of Lord Krishna.
The dispute encompasses several significant issues, including land ownership, rights to worship, and archaeological investigations, which are being extensively debated in court.
On the other hand, the Muslim side claims the historical and legal validity of the mosque. The issues at stake include ownership of the temple land, rights to worship, and archaeological investigations. Currently, more than 18 petitions are pending in the Allahabad High Court, with both sides presenting their claims.
