New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday listed the matter relating to Mathura's Krishna Janambhoomi land dispute for further hearing on January 9, 2024.
A bench of Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Sudhanshu Dhulia listed the matter for January 9.
The court said that it appears that the matter would have to be heard and asked both parties to file a short synopsis.
The top court also commented that it is not acceptable to bench that the parties can come to Delhi but not go to Allahabad. The comment was made when the lawyer of the mosque committee raised the issue of the distance of Mathura from Allahabad.
In the early hearing, the Supreme Court asked the registrar of Allahabad High Court to give details of the suits that are being dealt with in the court relating to Mathura's Krishna Janambhoomi land dispute.
The Committee of Management Trust Shahi Masjid Idgah has filed an appeal in the top court challenging the Allahabad High Court order, which transfers to itself all the petitions relating to Mathura's Krishna Janambhoomi land dispute from District Court Mathura, Uttar Pradesh.
The plea was moved by the Committee of Management Trust Shahi Masjid Idgah through advocate RHA Sikander.
The Committee of Management Trust Shahi Masjid Idgah challenged the order dated May 26 passed by the Allahabad High Court, whereby it transferred all such cases relating to the Krishna Janambhoomi dispute from the District Court in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, to itself.
The suit filed in the Mathura court sought the removal of a mosque said to have been built in 1669-70 on the orders of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in the 13.37-acre premises of Katra Keshav Dev temple, near the birthplace of Lord Krishna. (ANI)
