In a significant legal tussle concerning religious rights, the Muslim side has raised objections to a plea seeking permission for worship at the ‘Krishna Koop,’ a well situated within the premises of the Shahi Idgah in Mathura. The controversy revolves around a maintainability suit currently under review by the Allahabad High Court.
This suit questions the ownership of the Shahi Idgah mosque, claiming that it was constructed on land originally belonging to the Katra Keshav Deo temple.
During the court proceedings, Ashutosh Pandey filed an application under Section 151 of the Civil Procedure Code (CPC), requesting permission for the performance of ‘Basoda puja’ by Hindu devotees at the Krishna Koop. However, the Muslim side objected to this application, arguing that no orders should be issued until the ongoing maintainability suit is resolved.
Court Adjourns Hearing Amidst Objections
The debate between the two sides led to the adjournment of the hearing for a later date by the high court. The Muslim side stressed the importance of awaiting the resolution of the maintainability suit before addressing any applications related to worship at the Krishna Koop.
On the other hand, the Hindu side highlighted the significance of religious freedom and requested the court to allow the puja at the Krishna Koop.
As the legal battle continues, both parties await further developments in the case, which holds implications for the rights of worshipers from different religious communities.
