Issue Of Maintainability

In December 2023, the Allahabad High Court had ordered the formation of an advocate commission to survey the Shahi Idgah Mosque complex, which is adjacent to the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi temple. This order challenge by the Muslim side in the Supreme Court, which place a stay on January 17, 2024, on the formation of the commission. However, the Supreme Court permitted the Allahabad High Court to continue hearing the case, including the issue of maintainability.

Following the Supreme Court’s stay, the Hindu side requested a revenue survey in the matter. In May 2023, the Allahabad High Court had stayed the earlier order for an advocate commission and transferred all related cases from the Mathura Court to itself.
