New Delhi: Spurred by the success of the 1989 civil suit filed by Ram Lalla Virajman in getting ownership of the disputed Ayodhya site in 2019, Srikrishna Virajman filed a civil suit in a Mathura court on Friday seeking ownership of the entire 13.37 acres of Krishna Janmabhoomi land and removal of Shahi Idgah Masjid.
The plaintiff, described as ‘Bhagwan Srikrishna Virajman at Katra Keshav Dev Khewat, Mauja Mathura Bazaar City’, moved the civil suit through next friend Ranjana Agnihotri and six other devotees.
After filing the suit, advocates Hari Shankar Jain and Vishnu Shankar Jain told TOI, “This suit is being filed for removal of encroachment and superstructure illegally raised by a committee of management of alleged Trust Masjid Idgah with the consent of Sunni Central Board of Waqf on land Khewat No.255 at Katra Keshav Dev, city Mathura belonging to deity Srikrishna Virajman.”
The disputed site, believed by many to be the birthplace of Lord Krishna, figures along with Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya and Gyanvapi Mosque next to Varanasi’s Vishwanath temple, among sites VHP has asked for to be restored to Hindus.
