AGRA: A district court in Mathura ruled on Thursday that a suit filed for the “removal” of the Shahi Idgah mosque was “maintainable”, overturning its dismissal two years ago. The next hearing is scheduled for May 26.
Thursday’s order was related to the first lawsuit in the case, which was filed by “Bhagwan Srikrishna Virajman” at Katra Keshav Dev Khewat, Mauja Mathura Bazaar City, through “next friend” Ranjana Agnihotri and six other devotees. Agnihotri, a Lucknow-based lawyer, had also represented the Hindu Mahasabha in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title suit in the Supreme Court.
