The Allahabad High Court on Monday directed a Mathura court to decide on an application seeking a survey of Shahi Idgah mosque, adjacent to Krishna Janmabhoomi temple, by the Archaeological Survey of India within four months.
“Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the issue, the present petition stands disposed of finally with a direction to the concerned court to consider and decide application dated 13.05.2022 in accordance with law expeditiously and preferably within a period of four months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order, but certainly after giving opportunity to the parties concerned and without granting unnecessary adjournments to either of the parties, if there is no legal impediment,” the order passed by Justice Piyush Agarwal read.
