AGRA: Two cases, filed by different petitioners, seeking removal of the Shahi Eidgah (mosque), adjacent to the Shri Krishna temple complex in Mathura, and transfer of 13.37-acre land to the deity, Bhagwan Shri Krishna Virajman, were heard in two

Mathura courts on Monday and will now be taken up again in January end. Hearing the case, the court of district judge allowed the appeal to be heard as revision petition and fixed January 28 as next date of hearing. The case was also heard in the civil judge (senior division) court where arguments on the aspect of limitation were heard. This court fixed January 29 as the next date of hearing.

The issue of maintainability of the appeals was contended by the opposite parties in the case before district judge of Mathura. The petitioners had earlier filed miscellaneous cases before the court of civil judge (senior division), who dismissed them and the petitioners then filed appeal in the court of district judge. “We had challenged the maintainability of appeals filed against the dismissal of miscellaneous suits. The objection were filed on behalf of Shahi Idgah mosque and the court of district judge today (Monday) ordered to consider the appeal as revision petition and fixed January 28 for hearing,” stated Tanveer Ahmed, secretary of Shahi Idgah mosque. “We would argue in the case on January 28,” said Hari

Shankar Jain, the counsel for petitioner in the case. The petitioners have claimed the Shahi Eidgah mosque was built on the same spot where a temple was razed to the ground by then Mughal emperor Aurangzeb.

IN COURT OF CIVIL JUDGE The other suit filed in the court of civil judge (senior division) by one Manish Yadav was also heard on Monday on issue of limitation and now January 29 has been fixed as next date.

“We placed our arguments on issue of limitation,” said Pankaj Joshi, counsel for Manish Yadav, who claims to be a descendent of Lord Krishna and sought removal of all encroachments, including the Idgah mosque, and that its land be handed over to Sri Krishna Janambhoomi trust.
