Recently, Allahabad High Court directed the Mathura Civil Court to hear the Krishna Janmabhoomi case. 

This order was passd by Justice Prakash Pandiya while hearing the petitions of the Sunni Central Waqf Board and the Management Committee of Shahi Masjid Idgah.

During the hearing, the bench noted that the Mathura court had made a mistake by not registering the complaint of Katra Keshav Dev seeking the transfer of title rights over 13.37 acres of land to Shri Krishna Virajman.

Further, the high court also noted that the Mathura court rejected July 20, 1973 agreement, and the local court did not make a mistake by turning the appeal against the civil judge's judgement into revision, as the court has the authority to do.

A civil suit's maintainability can only be decided by a civil court.

Since the civil suit was filed, the opposition has been summoned to file a written statement. According to Article 227, neither the high court nor the district judge has the authority to decide this question. After hearing the petitions, the high court sent the case to the civil court and informed both parties of its direction.

Counsel for Shri Krishna Virajman, Supreme Court lawyer Ranjana Agnihotri filed a claim before the civil judge, senior division, Mathura on September 25, 2022.

The objection was accepted by the district judge, who changed the appeal into a revision application. The civil judge had registered the case and issued a summons as a result of this.

These orders were challenged in the high court by the Muslim side in a petition.

On behalf of the petitioner, an objection that the cost of the land is Rs 42 lakh 26 thousand 230. Since the district judge can only order the revision of a suit worth Rs 25 lakh, the Mathura district judge has no right to hear the matter.

The temple side, on the other hand, stated that the cost of the land in the complaint is Rs 20 lakh, not Rs 42 lakh, and thus the district judge's judgement is correct, and the stay on the hearing of the civil suit should be lifted.

In response to a question, counsel Ranjana Agnihotri told India Today that the Muslim side's argument in the district judge's court in Mathura without registering the case was incorrect.

The hearing will now take place in the civil judge's court.
