Allahabad HC to hear Krishna Janmabhumi-Shahi Idgah dispute on September 30

The Allahabad High Court on Wednesday fixed September 30 as the next date for hearing in the Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Idgah dispute at Mathura. The Hindu side had moved an application for amendment in its petition, following which the next hearing was fixed.
Justice Mayank Kumar Jain is hearing 18 suits which are consolidated.

On August 1, the high court rejected the plea challenging the maintainability of 18 cases related to the temple-mosque dispute in Mathura, and ruled that the "religious character" of Shahi Idgah needs to be determined.

The high court had dismissed the Muslim side's contention that the suits filed by Hindu litigants relating to the dispute over the Shahi Idgah mosque complex adjoining the Krishna Janmabhoomi temple violated the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, and were thus not maintainable.

The 1991 Act prohibits changing the religious character of any shrine from what existed on the day of the country's Independence. It exempted only the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute from its purview.

Krishna Janmabhoomi Case Hearing Live: Allahabad high court to hear Mathura dispute suits

The Allahabad high court will commence hearings on all 18 suits pertaining to the Mathura Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Eidgah dispute today. Justice Mayank Kumar Jain was initially set to hear the cases on Monday.

The Allahabad High Court has scheduled the next hearing for the Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Idgah dispute in Mathura on September 30. This follows a request by the Hindu side to amend its petition, prompting the new date for proceedings. Justice Mayank Kumar Jain is overseeing 18 consolidated suits in the matter.

Earlier, on August 1, the court rejected a plea challenging the maintainability of the 18 cases connected to the temple-mosque dispute. The court stated that the "religious character" of the Shahi Idgah must be determined.

The Muslim side had argued that the lawsuits filed by Hindu litigants violated the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act of 1991, which bars altering the religious character of any shrine as it existed on Independence Day. However, the court dismissed this claim, noting that the Act does not apply to the Shahi Idgah dispute, as it only exempts the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid case.
