A Court in Uttar Pradesh's Mathura district has once again directed the Civil Court Amin (also known as court officers) to visit and survey the Sri Krishna Janmasthan-Shahi Idgah dispute case and submit an aakhya report (along with maps) before the Court on April 17.
The order is similar to Court's order passed in December last year (Civil Judge III Sonika Verma) wherein the Civil Court Amin was directed to file amin report by Jan 20.
The order was passed while adjudicating upon a plea moved by Vishnu Gupta, National President of Hindu Sena (through Advocate Shailesh Dube) in a suit filed by him seeking possession of the Shahi Idgah premises and demolition of the present structure situated there.
However, since the Shahi Idgah Mosque Committee had moved an application, objecting to the Court's order for a 'survey' of the mosque premises, the Court, in January this year, directed to maintain status quo.
Pursuant to which, another application was moved by Gupta wherein it was argued that there was no stay on the order of the Court, hence, the Court restored its earlier order to present survey report.
It may be noted that in the suit in question, plaintiff Gupta has challenged the ownership of 13.77-acre land on which the Idgah is built. The suit states that the Idgah was constructed by Aurangzeb on the 13.37 acres of Shri Krishna's birthplace after demolishing the Sri Krishna temple.
In view of this, the suit seeks the cancellation of the agreement between Sri Krishna Janmasthan Seva Sangh and Shahi Idgah executed in the year 1968, calling it illegal.
It may further be noted that this suit is one of the many suits filed before the Court demanding the demolition of the 17th-century Shahi Idgah Masjid claiming the same to be built on Krishna Janambhumi's property. Shailesh Dube.
