The Supreme Court stayed the implementation of the Allahabad High Court order for the court-monitored survey of Shahi Idgah adjoining Krishna Janmabhoomi temple in Mathura.
The apex court sought a reply from Hindu outfit Bhagwan ShriKrishna Virajman, and others on a plea of the mosque committee against the HC order on the survey of Shahi Idgah.
However, the court allowed proceedings before Allahabad High Court to continue in cases related to the dispute over the shifting of Shahi Masjid Idgah in Mathura.
On December 14, 2023, the High Court had allowed a court-monitored survey of the Shahi Idgah and had said the modalities of the survey will be discussed at the next hearing.
The Hindu side in the Krishna Janmabhumi-Shahi Idgah case had appealed for constituting a commission for the survey, claiming the mosque holds signs suggesting that it was a Hindu temple once.
The high court had agreed to the appointment of an advocate-commissioner to oversee the survey of the mosque.
