The matter is related to the ownership rights of 13.37 acres.
This entire matter is related to the ownership rights of 13.37 acres of land of Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi and Idgah complex. In this, Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple is built on about 11 acres of land and Shahi Idgah Mosque is built on 2.37 acres of land. The Hindu side claims that the land on which the mosque is built used to be the prison of Kansa, where Shri Krishna was born. The Hindu side claims the entire land, while the Muslim side says that this land was given for the mosque in the agreement signed in 1968. Shri Krishna Janmasthan Seva Sangh does not accept the 1968 agreement between the Shahi Idgah Committee. He says that Mughal emperor Aurangzeb had demolished many temples during his rule, which also includes Shri Krishna Janmasthan Temple. The remains of the temple are still present in the mosque.
