SC extends stay on court-monitored survey of Shahi Idgah mosque in Mathura

The Supreme Court on Wednesday extended its stay on the Allahabad High Court’s order that permitted a court-monitored survey of the Shahi Idgah Mosque complex in Mathura.

The complex is located adjacent to the Krishna Janmabhoomi temple, a site of significant religious importance for



Hindus.

A bench comprising Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna and justices Sanjay Kumar and KV Viswanathan said it will defer the hearing on the plea of the ‘Committee of Management of Trust Shahi Masjid Idgah’ against the court-monitored survey of the mosque complex in the week commencing April 1.
