A fresh plea has been filed in a Mathura court, seeking the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Trust to install a notice board at the temple premises indicating that the existing sanctum sanctorum is “not the real birthplace” of Lord Krishna.
The petition has been filed by Delhi-based advocate PV Raghunandan in the court of Civil Judge (Senior Division) Anupama Singh.
The plaintiff’s counsel, Pankaj Joshi, informed the media that the case has been accepted for hearing, although no specific date has been assigned yet.
In the plea, the plaintiff contends that the original sanctum sanctorum of the ancient Keshavdev temple was dismantled by Mughal ruler Aurangzeb, and the Shahi Idgah mosque was constructed in its place.
Consequently, the petition asserts that devotees visiting the current sanctum sanctorum of the Krishna Janmabhoomi temple should be explicitly informed that the location is not the “actual” sanctum sanctorum, and this can be achieved by installing a notice board. Joshi explained that the plea seeks a court order to implement the installation of such a notice board.
The defendants in this case include the Uttar Pradesh government, Mathura municipal corporation, and the State Archaeology Department, among others.
