Krishna Janmabhoomi Case: Allahabad HC Approves Survey of Shahi Idgah Mosque
Prayagraj, 14th Dec. The Allahabad High Court on Thursday granted permission for a preliminary survey of the Shahi Idgah complex, located next to the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh.
Vishnu Shankar Jain, the lawyer representing the Hindu side, expressed his satisfaction with the court’s decision, stating, “Our request for a survey of the Shahi Idgah Masjid by an advocate commissioner has been approved by the Allahabad High Court. I believe that the mosque bears several signs and symbols of the Hindu temple, and it is important to establish the true facts. This is a significant judgment by the court.”
Justice Mayank Kumar Jain had reserved the order on the application on November 16.
The Hindu side argues that the Idgah mosque was built by Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb after demolishing a temple on 13.37 acres of Lord Krishna’s birthplace.
This ongoing case is one of 17 suits currently pending before the High Court. The main pleas in these suits seek a declaration that the disputed land, where the Shahi Idgah Mosque is located, belongs to the deity Lord Shri Krishna Virajman.
Additionally, they request an order for the removal of the mosque.
