In the ongoing Shahi Idgah Mosque-Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple dispute, plaintiff’s advocate Mahendra Pratap Singh on Thursday filed his objections to the mosque committee’s Order VII Rule 11 application challenging the maintainability of his suit.
Mr. Singh argued that the Places of Worship Act cannot be applied in this case, as suggested by a district court earlier this year while directing that a similar suit in the dispute should be admitted afresh.
The Shahi Idgah Mosque management committee is currently facing at least six similar suits, including Mr. Singh’s, in Mathura, claiming ownership of the land on which the mosque is built on behalf of the Krishna temple.
