Budaun Mosque Row: 'Suit Barred By Places Of Worship Act; It's Waqf Property', Masjid Committee Tells Local Court; Next Hearing on Dec 10

Live Law  

In the ongoing Budaun Shamsi Shahi Mosque dispute, the Masjid Committee on Tuesday submitted before a local court that a suit filed seeking permission to worship at the Shamsi Shahi Masjid, claiming that it was NeelKanth Mahadev temple, is barred by the Places of Worship Act, 1991, and that the property in question is a waqf property. The submissions were made in connection with an Order 7 Rule 11 CPC plea moved by the Masjid committee challenging the maintainability of the Suit filed by former Hindu Mahasabha convener Mukesh Patel through Advocate Vivek Render. The suit claims that the Neelkanth Mahadev temple once stood at the mosque's site, and the Mughal rulers destroyed the same to construct the current structure, the Shamsi Mosque. The Masjid Committee has also argued that since August 15, 1947, and for more than eight centuries prior, the Jama Masjid Shamsi in Budaun has existed as a mosque, with Muslims regularly performing Namaz and other religious activities without any hindrance.
