MATHURA COURT DISMISSES PETITION

AGRA : A Mathura court on Wednesday dismissed a petition related to the Sri Krishna Janmabhoomi issue.

The suit, one of the dozen pending cases regarding the issue, was filed by a Lucknowbased lawyer who had even gone to the Allahabad high court seeking early disposal of the case. The management committee for the Shahi Eidgah mosque, a respondent, had challenged the maintainability of the case.

The court was conducting hearing on the objection raised during which none appeared on behalf of the petitioner. Secretary and counsel of the mosque committee Tanveer Ahmad said: “We had filed an application under Order 7 Rule 11 of the Civil Procedure Code ( CPC) challenging the maintainability of this case. The petitioner had not been attending the hearings and wasn’t present even today. Thus, the case was dismissed by the court.”

During the proceedings, the petitioner had also filed an application seeking a survey of the Shahi Eidgah mosque.

The application was yet to be disposed of. This was one of the dozen cases filed in the Mathura court on the issue of Sri Krishna Janambhoomi.
