Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Idgah masjid dispute. Allahabad High Court fixes Feb 20 for hearing By Rajesh Pandey

The Allahabad High Court on Wednesday fixed February 20 for hearing a petition seeking the transfer of some more cases from Mathura court to the high court regarding the Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Idgah Masjid dispute.

The Hindu side has filed 18 suits so far for possession of land after the removal of the structure of Shahi Idgah masjid as well as for restoration of the temple and permanent injunction.

The order was passed by Justice Kshitij Shailendra on a transfer petition filed by Bhagwan Shri Krishna Lala Virajman through his next friend.

The petition prayed for the transfer of cases relating to the Krishna Janmabhoomi dispute to the high court.

Appearing on behalf of the petitioner, the counsel Rina N Singh and Rana Singh submitted that a number of suits relating to the Krishna Janmabhoomi dispute are being heard by the high court. They submitted that matters are of historical importance.

It was submitted that six cases are pending before the Mathura court, one of which is of Radha Rani Vrishbhan Kumari, Vrindaban.

The court issued notice to UP Sunni Central Waqf Board and others and fixed February 20 for a hearing.

On October 23, 2024, the court rejected an application moved by the Shahi Idgah mosque committee to recall its January 11 order consolidating all suits filed in connection with the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Idgah dispute at Mathura.
