All Krishna Janmabhoomi Cases Transferred to Allahabad High Court

Prayagraj: Now the Allahabad High Court will hear all cases related to the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi dispute. The high court transferred the cases currently being heard in the lower court in Mathura to itself.

On May 3, the Allahabad High Court reserved its judgment on a petition seeking transfer of the case, in which Hindu devotees have claimed right over the land on which the Shahi Masjid Idgah is built, from the Mathura district court to the high court.

The petition claimed that the Krishna Janmabhoomi case in Mathura holds national importance and should be heard in the high court.

The petition was filed by Bhagwan Shri Krishna Virajman at Katra Keshav Dev Khewat Mathura through Ranjana Agnihotri and seven others and also the counsel for the respondents.

The respondents in the case are – the Management Committee of the Shahi Masjid Idgah adjacent to Krishna Janmabhoomi temple, Shree Krishna Janmabhoomi Trust, Katra Keshav Dev, Deeg Gate, Mathura and Shri Krishna Janma Sthan Sewa Sansthan, Katra Keshav Dev, Deeg Gate, Mathura.

The applicants had filed a civil suit before the civil judge (senior division) for declaration and injunction claiming the right of the Hindu community over Idgah mosque while stating it was constructed after demolishing Hindu temples.
