BREAKING | Krishna Janmabhumi Dispute: Suits Of Hindu Worshippers & Deity Maintainable, Says Allahabad HC; Rejects Masjid Committee's Challenge

Live Law

In a significant ruling with potential implications for the pending suits before the Allahabad High Court regarding the Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Eidgah Mosque dispute in Mathura, the High Court today DISMISSED the plea of Shahi Idgah Masjid filed under Order 7 Rule 11 CPC. With this, the Court rejected the primary argument made by the Committee of Management Trust Shahi Masjid Idgah that the suits pending before the High Court are barred by the Places of Worship Act 1991, Limitation Act 1963, and Specific Relief Act 1963. In its application filed under Order VII Rule 11 r/w Section 151 of the Civil Procedure Code, the Shahi Masjid Idgah Committee had strongly argued that the suits pending before the High Court admitted that a Mosque existed after 1968. In May last year, the Allahabad High Court transferred to itself all the suits pending before the Mathura court, praying for various reliefs pertaining to the Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Eidgah Mosque dispute, allowing the transfer application filed by Bhagwan Shrikrishna Virajman and seven others.
