Mathura, Uttar Pradesh: A district court in Mathura on Friday admitted a plea that seeks to remove a “Shahi Eidgah Mosque” adjacent to the Krishna Temple.

Today, the court of district judge Sadhna Rani Thakur has given a notice to all the parties and the next hearing will be on November 18,” said Vishnu Jain, Petitioner.

Earlier on September 30, a Mathura civil court had refused to admit a suit to remove an Eidgah “built on Krishna Janmabhoomi”, and had dismissed a plea seeking order to remove the Shahi Eidgah Mosque. The civil court had cited the bar under the Place of Worship (Special Provisions) Act of 1991.

The law was passed at the height of the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute and seeks to protect all religious structures as they existed at the time of Independence on August 15, 1947, with the exception of the disputed site at Ayodhya.

According to petitioners, Mathura is the birthplace of Lord Krishna and the Mosque was built at the birthplace of Lord Krishna, within the 13-acre premises of the Katra Keshav Dev temple.

Last year on 9 November 2019, demolished Babri Mosque site  was in Ayodhya be given for construction of a temple, while Muslims would get an alternate plot elsewhere in the Uttar Pradesh town by A five-judge Constitution bench of the Supreme Court headed by then Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi.
