Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Case: High Court Approves Survey Of Shahi Idgah Complex

The Allahabad High Court on Thursday allowed the primary survey of the Shahi Idgah complex adjacent to the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple in Uttar Pradesh's Mathura. The survey will be carried out by a court-monitored three-member team of advocate commissioners. The modalities of the survey will be decided on December 18, when the court resumes the hearing. The Hindu side claims that the Idgah mosque was constructed by Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb by demolishing a temple on 13.37 acres of Lord Krishna's birthplace. This original suit is pending before the High Court.
