An Agra-based advocate filed a court case alleging the existence of a Hindu temple within the grounds of a dargah (shrine) in Fatehpur Sikri, Uttar Pradesh. Advocate Ajay Pratap Singh asserted that a civil court in Agra has acknowledged his assertion. Singh identified the Dargah of Salim Chishti in Fatehpur Sikri as the temple of Goddess Kamakhya, stating that the adjoining mosque is a component of the temple complex.
The Delhi High Court Today (March 14th) fined Kunwar Mahender Dhwaj Prasad Singh Rs 1 lakh for a delayed and unsubstantiated claim to ownership of extensive lands in Agra, Meerut, and Aligarh areas. Singh’s petition, filed more than 70 years after India’s independence, lacked evidence and was deemed inappropriate for writ proceedings. The court dismissed Singh’s baseless claims, emphasizing the challenges of litigating historical ownership.
