Allahabad High Court allowed survey of Mathura Idgah in the Sri Krishna Janmabhoomi case
Application filed under Order 26 Rule 9 CPC as part of petition 353/2023 by eight people. Seeks a survey of Shahi Idgah mosque.
Petition urges the court to direct UP Sunni Central Waqf Board and mosque committee to hand over the land to Shree Krishna Janmabhoomi Trust.
Plea seeks an order restraining Waqf Board and mosque committee from entering premises of disputed land.
Challenges legality of a compromise agreement dated October 12, 1968, between Shri Krishna Janmasthan Seva Sansthan and Trust Shahi Masjid Idgah.
Historical background of the dispute says the mosque built by Aurangzeb in 1670 on the site of an earlier temple.
Waqf board argues that the mosque doesn't fall within the disputed land.
