The Hindu plaintiffs in the ongoing Shahi Idgah Mosque-Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi civil dispute have now moved a revision petition in the Mathura district court, challenging the order of a civil court, which had decided that it would first hear the Masjid panel’s application challenging the maintainability of the suit.
As proceedings began on Monday before the civil judge (senior division) in Mathura, Advocate Tanveer Ahmed was preparing to begin his submissions under Order VII, Rule 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure, on behalf of the Masjid management committee. At this juncture, Advocate Mahendra Pratap Singh informed the court that its earlier order on who to hear first had been challenged in the district court.
“The district court has admitted our revision petition and will hear us on this next on August 11. This means that the proceedings in the civil court will have to be paused till the revision petition is decided,” Mr. Singh said.
