Expressing its disinclination to interfere with the Allahabad High Court order, which clubbed all suits relating to the Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Eidgah dispute, the Supreme Court on Friday orally observed that the consolidation would benefit both the Hindu and Muslim sides.
The Bench of Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar refused to pass any order on the Special Leave Petition filed by the Shahi Idgah Mosque Committee challenging the Allahabad High Court verdict of January 2024, which consolidated all 15 suits filed by Hindu parties raising claims over the mosque at Mathura.
The Counsel appearing for the Mosque Committee submitted that since all the suits clubbed together were not of the same nature, this would lead to complications.
Noting that it would not make any difference, the top court of the country listed the matter for further hearing on April 1
The Apex Court was also hearing a petition filed by the Mosque Committee challenging the May 2023 verdict, wherein the High Court had transferred to itself all the suits from the trial court.
Another petition filed by the Mosque Committee challenging the High Court’s refusal to reject the plaints as barred by the Places of Worship Act, was pending before the Apex Court.
