LUCKNOW: The Allahabad High Court on Friday transferred all suits related to the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Idgah mosque dispute pending in the lower court of Mathura to itself. The High Court directed the Mathura court to transfer all such cases along with the relevant records to High Court within the next two weeks.
The High Court, on May 3, had reserved the order over a petition seeking transfer of the case, in which the Hindu side had claimed the right over the land on which the Shahi Masjid Idgah stands, to the High Court from Mathura lower court.
The single-judge bench of Allahabad High Court, comprising Justice Arvind Kumar Mishra, allowed the transfer application moved by the Hindu side — Bhagwan Shri Krishna Virajman at Katra Keshav Dev Khewat, Mathura, through lawyer Ranjana Agnihotri and seven others.
“The instant transfer application is allowed…Let the district judge, Mathura prepare a list of all such cases of similar nature involving the subject matter and touching upon its periphery, expressly or by implication include particulars of such cases and these suits/cases along with the record… shall be duly forwarded to this court within two weeks and the same shall stand transferred to this court in exercise of suo motu powers of this court,” the HC ordered.
The respondents in the case include Management Committee of Shahi Masjid Idgah, Shri Krishna Janmbhoomi Trust, Katra Keshav Dev, and Shri Krishna Jamna Sthan Sewa Sansthan. The transfer plea filed by advocates Vishnu Shankar Jain, Prabhash Pandey and Pradeep Kumar Sharma claimed that the issues involved in the suits pending before the Mathura court concerned crores of devotees of Lord Krishna and the matter was of the national importance. Therefore, it should be heard by the High Court.
The petitioners had also claimed in the application seeking transfer of the cases that the suits pending before the Mathura court could conveniently be heard in the High Court as there were substantial questions of law involved and also those related to the interpretation of the Constitution of India. The respondents in the case include Management Committee of Shahi Masjid Idgah, Shri Krishna Janmbhoomi Trust, Katra Keshav Dev, and Shri Krishna Jamna Sthan Sewa Sansthan.
