Mathura Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple and Shahi Eidgah Mosque Dispute Court Decision Safe
The dispute over Mathura’s Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple and Shadi Eidgah Mosque has now reached the High Court. The Hindu side has demanded a court commission and an ASI survey. Today, the Allahabad High Court heard the plea of the Hindu side. The main demand of the Hindu side is to free the 13.37 acres of land of Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi and remove the Shahi Eidgah. There has been a long-standing dispute over the 13.37 acres of land. The Hindu side has filed a petition in the High Court to vacate the illegal possession of 2.65 acres of land by the Shahi Mosque. After the hearing, the court has declared the decision safe.
Hindu organizations have filed a plea in the High Court, demanding both a court commission and an ASI survey. Mahendra Pratap Singh, the President of Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Mukti Nyas and petitioner, stated that the case was heard in the High Court on Thursday. The demand is to conduct a survey in the courtyard of the Shahi Eidgah Mosque. Video and photography should also be done there. Mahendra Pratap said that the hidden facts would come to light through photography and videography.
Furthermore, Mahendra Pratap stated that the committee of the Shahi Eid has demanded that the case should be heard not in the High Court but in the courts of Mathura. Mahendra Pratap says that symbols of Hindu deities can be removed from the mosque. It should be noted that a public interest plea has been filed, demanding the acquisition of the entire land including Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi and Shahi Eidgah Mosque in Mathura, establishing a trust and granting Hindus the right to worship there.”
