In a recent order, Additional District Judge (ADJ) Narendra Kumar stated that the civil suit cannot be summarily dismissed without recording evidence and solely based on objections from the Muslim side. The ADJ noted that there was no legal flaw in the earlier order by the civil judge (junior division) on September 6, 2023, which entertained the suit on its merits.
This ruling has now set the stage for the civil suit to proceed on its merits, determining whether the plaintiffs will indeed have an uninterrupted right to worship at Laxman Teela.
Plaintiff Nripendra Pandey and others initiated the suit in a representative capacity before the civil judge, asserting that during the reign of Mughal ruler Aurangzeb, Laxman Teela suffered damage and a mosque, now known as Teele Wali Masjid, was erected at the site.
It is claimed that the temple of Shesh Nagesh Teeleshwar Mahadev and Shesh Nagesh Patal Koop still exist at the location. Allegedly, in June 2023, when the plaintiffs attempted to conduct religious rituals at the site, they faced intimidation from the Muslim party. Consequently, they filed a civil suit seeking an injunction against the Muslim party to prevent any disturbance during worship.
Previously, the Muslim party had submitted a plea before the civil judge arguing that the suit was not maintainable due to being time-barred under the Place of Worship Act 1991 and the provisions of the Waqf Act 1995. The civil judge dismissed this objection from the Muslim party, leading to the filing of a revision before the ADJ.
