'Right Of Worshippers To Make Endeavor To Bring Back Lost Property Of The Deity': Appeal Filed Against Mathura Court Order In 'Shrikrishna Janam Bhoomi' Case

The Civil Court had dismissed the suit in limine. However, the District Court has admitted the suit and called for records.

It is alleged that in 1968, the Society Shree Krishna Janamasthan Seva Sangh entered into a compromise with the Committee of Management of Trust Masjid Idgah, conceding a considerable portion of property belonging to the deity to the latter.

Disputing the legality of this compromise, the Appellants had submitted:

"Shri Krishna Janmasthan Seva Sangh was not the owner and the property had vested in the deity/Trust and therefore said society had no authority under law to file the suit and enter into compromise with Trust Masjid Idgah."

They asserted their right to religion guaranteed by Article 25 of the Constitution to have darshan and perform puja at the actual birth of place of Lord Krishna, which is at present is alleged to be beneath the structure illegally raised by Muslims.
