Supreme Court to Hear Arguments on Mathura Idgah Dispute on December 9 The Supreme Court has expressed a prima facie view that the Shahi Masjid Idgah management committee should have appealed the Allahabad High Court single judge's order before a division bench, rather than approaching the SC directly. The case revolves around the August 1 decision, where the HC single judge declared 15 suits filed by Hindu parties—claiming the Idgah premises as the birthplace of Sri Krishna—maintainable. The court also ordered these suits to be clubbed for a joint trial. The Idgah committee argued the claims were barred by the Places of Worship Act, 1991, and a decades-old community agreement, but these pleas were rejected. During the hearing, CJI Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar suggested intra-court appeals could be a better initial approach. However, given the historical intricacies raised by the Idgah committee, the bench scheduled detailed arguments for December 9. #SupremeCourt #MathuraIdgahCase #LegalUpdate #SriKrishnaJanmabhoomi #IndianJudiciary #PlacesOfWorshipAct
