A civil suit has been filed before the court of the civil judge, senior division, Mathura, on behalf of the child deity Bhagwan Shri Krishna Virajman.
The suit seeks the removal of the Shahi Idgah adjacent to the Shri Krishna Temple complex at Mathura.
The suit has been filed by Ranjana Agnihotri, a resident of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.
The UP Sunni Central Waqf Board and the Committee of the Management of the Trust of Shahi Idgah has been arraigned as defendants in the suit.
The suit seeks the recovery of 13.37 acres of land situated within the Temple area.
They also claimed that “every inch of the land… is sacred for the devotees of Lord Shree Krishna and the Hindu community.”
The suit says that the trust, with the help of some Muslims encroached upon the land belonging to Shri Krishna Janmasthan Trust and the deity, and erected a structure.
The suit further said the birth place of Lord Krishna lies beneath the structure raised by the trust.
“The Shree Krishna Janmasthan Seva Sansthan is working against the interest of the deity and devotees and fraudulently entered into a compromise with the Committee of Management of Trust Masjid Idgah (Trust) in 1968 conceding a considerable portion of property belonging to the deity and the trust,” the suit claimed.
They blamed the Mughal ruler Aurangazeb for demolishing the Krishna temple in Mathura.
