Court Dismisses Plea Claiming 'Lakshagriha' Site Graveyard and Dargah of Sheikh Badruddin

News 18  

A court in Baghpat on Monday dismissed a decades-old plea filed by a Muslim side over a site that Hindu devotees say is the Mahabharat-era ‘Lakshagriha’ but the petitioners maintain is a graveyard and dargah of Sufi saint Sheikh Badruddin. According to Ranveer Singh Tomar, the advocate for the respondents in the petition, Civil Judge Junior Division of the District and Session Court of Baghpat Shivam Dwivedi dismissed the petition, saying there was neither a graveyard nor a dargah at the site in Barnawa. Tomar said that the Muslim side intended to capture 100 bighas of land of the Lakshagriha by labelling it a graveyard and a dargah. Tomar also said that Mukeem Khan, a resident of Barnawa, had in 1970 filed the petition in a court in Meerut in the capacity of an office bearer of the Waqf Board and made Brahmachari Krishnadutt Maharaj, the founder of the Lakshagriha Gurukul, as a respondent.
