Lucknow: The Allahabad High Court on October 3 dismissed the Shahi Idgah Masjid Committee’s recall petition in long-standing dispute between the mosque and Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi in Mathura. The decision resonated deeply within the Hindu community, being hailed as a significant victory in their quest for recognition and justice.

With this ruling by a single judge bench presided over by Justice Mayank Kumar Jain, the court has cleared the way for a simultaneous hearing of over a dozen petitions from the Hindu side. The High Court had upheld its earlier decision from January 11 of this year, which led to this latest judgment.

The mosque committee had filed the recall petition against the court’s decision to hear the Hindu petitions together. The petition had challenged the ruling given on January 11. But the court once again reaffirmed its previous decision.

What Was the Committee’s Demand?

The Shahi Idgah Masjid Committee had argued in the please that there are inconsistencies in the Opposition’s petitions, which is why they are requesting separate hearings. They contended that these petitions should not be heard together.

The Muslim side stated that cases cannot be clubbed together before the determination of their maintainability. It is noteworthy that after the hearings were completed, the court reserved its judgment on October 16. The trial is now set to begin on November 6 at 2 pm.

The atmosphere in Mathura has shifted, as both sides reflected on the implications of this legal development. The story of the Mathura case continued to unfold, intertwining faith, history and the pursuit of peace in a land rich with cultural heritage.
