The Supreme Court extended the interim stay on the Allahabad High Court order appointing a commission to inspect the Shahi Idgah Mosque in Mathura in connection to the Krishna Janmbhoomi on Monday.
The top court has listed the matter for hearing in August 2024. Meanwhile, the interim stay will continue till the next date of hearing.
Earlier, the Supreme Court on January 5 dismissed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) that sought the recognition of Mathura's Shahi Idgah Mosque site as Krishna Janmabhoomi and also the removal of the mosque from the site. Earlier, the PIL had been rejected by the Allahabad High Court.
A bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta refused to interfere with the High Court order and said the PIL is not maintainable as the several civil suits on the issues raised in it are already pending consideration.
