The Supreme Court Today disposed of a plea challenging the Allahabad High Court’s order on Mathura’s Sri Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Idgah Masjid dispute. It allowed the Shahi Masjid Idgah to pursue a recall application. The Supreme Court also upheld the interim stay on the implementation of the high court’s order for a court-monitored survey of the Shahi Idgah Mosque complex.
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.

The outcome is anticipated to set a precedent for similar disputes.
