The Hindu side Today (April 30th) countered the argument presented by the Muslim side in the Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Idgah dispute at Mathura in the Allahabad High Court. They asserted that the provisions of the Waqf Act would not be applicable as the disputed property is not categorized as waqf property.

The ASI initiated a comprehensive survey of the Bhojshala/Kamal Maula Mosque complex in Madhya Pradesh, employing carbon-dating technology. Mandated by the High Court, the survey aims to resolve the historical dispute between Hindus and Muslims. Despite security measures, religious activities continue, while legal disputes and dissatisfaction from the Muslim community persist.
The Supreme Court Today (1 March) has agreed to hear an appeal from the Gyanvapi Management Committee challenging an Allahabad High Court decision deeming lawsuits for the “restoration” of a temple, where a mosque currently stands in Varanasi, as maintainable. Both sides have filed petitions and the legal battle continues.
The counsel for the Shahi Idgah managing committee argued in the Allahabad High Court today that the suit seeking the removal of the mosque is constrained by the statute of limitations. The Muslim side cited a compromise dating back to 1968, stating the suit filed in 2020 is beyond the three-year limit to challenge a compromise. The High Court set March 13 as the next hearing date. The case involves a dispute over Waqf property. The Waqf Act allows the Waqf Boards in India to claim unlimited powers over properties without recourse to legal challenge, raising questions in the context of a secular country. Waqf Board holds over 8,54,509 properties encompassing more than eight lakh acres of land, with powers to acquire and declare ownership without need for proof. The controversy surrounding the Waqf Act and the dispute over the mosque illustrates the complexities of religious property laws in India, provoking debate about the Act’s constitutionality.
