Allahabad High Court is going to give a big decision today in the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Eidgah dispute case in Mathura. This decision is of the ASI survey of the Shahi Idgah Mosque of Mathura. In the case of Varanasi’s Gyanvapi Mosque, Hindu side’s lawyer Vishnu Shankar Jain had filed a petition in Allahabad High Court demanding ASI survey in the Shahi Idgah Mosque complex of Mathura. In this case, the court had reserved its decision after hearing the petition on October 16. Vishnu Shankar Jain has said in his claim that a Hindu temple was demolished and the Royal Mosque of Mathura was built in its place. Right next to this royal mosque is the temple of Shri Krishna’s birthplace. The Hindu side claims that where the Shahi Mosque was built, there was a temple of Shri Krishna’s birthplace. This temple was ancient and Lord Krishna’s great grandson Vajranabha had built the temple for the first time. The Hindu side told the Allahabad High Court that the Shri Krishna Janmasthan temple was demolished during the time of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. His idols were buried under the stairs of a mosque and then a mosque was built on top of the demolished temple.
The Hindu side had appealed to the Allahabad High Court to conduct the survey soon. In the court, the Hindu side expressed apprehension that the Muslim side was doing the work of erasing the symbols related to the Hindu temple inside the Shahi Idgah Mosque. Allahabad High Court had reserved its decision in this matter after hearing the arguments of Hindu and Muslim sides. Many other cases are also going on in Allahabad High Court on the issue of Shahi Idgah Mosque of Mathura. The Muslim side had filed an application in the Supreme Court against the petition for ASI survey of the mosque, but the country’s highest court had clearly refused to interfere in the matter. Like Gyanvapi, the Muslim side had also cited the Places of Worship Act in the case of the Shahi Idgah Mosque of Mathura. On behalf of the Muslim side, the Sunni Central Waqf Board has raised objection in the Allahabad High Court. The argument of Sunni Central Waqf Board has been that there is no need for an order from the court on the application at this stage. The lawyers of the Waqf Board had told the Allahabad High Court that no decision has been taken yet on their objection on the maintainability of the case. Allahabad High Court had heard the arguments of both the parties on this issue. The Hindu side has been claiming for a long time that there is an ancient temple below the Royal Mosque of Mathura.
