Mathura Court allows plea by Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Trust & other pvt parties to seek ownership of Shahi Idgah Mosque land

In Mathura, the District and Sessions Court allowed a plea by the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Trust and other private parties seeking ownership of the land in which the Shahi Idgah Mosque is built. The discussion with respect to acceptance of the plea was going on from last one and half year.

The ruling by District and Sessions Judge Rajiv Bharti allowing the plea means that the civil suit will now be heard by a lower court.
The Idgah is next to the Sri Krishna Janmabhoomi Sthal, where the deity Shri Krishna is believed to have been born.

The dispute essentially involves ownership of 13.37 acres of land which, the petitioners claim belongs to the deity Lord Shri Krishna Virajman.
