Supreme Court Leaves It Open To Allahabad HC To Decide Plea For Survey: Krishna Janmabhoomi Case

On Friday the SC rejected to entertain the plea that was filed by the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Mukti Nirman Trust, whereby it sought a scientific survey of Shahi Eidgah Masjid Premises as it is claimed to be built on the Krishna Janmabhoomi.

Since very recently, the Allahabad High Court transferred the cases pertaining to the issue which were seeking relief, therefore, the SC clarified that the petition will be entertained by the Allahabad HC itself and not by it.

Senior Advocate Gaurav Bhatia appearing on behalf of the trust pointed out that after March when the Civil Judge had accepted the Mosque Committee’s application to hear its challenge to the trust’s plaint first and therefore, the HC was supposed to apply its mind when the revision application was being considered.

He also argued that the trial court was precluded from passing the order with respect to the transfer of suits.
