In a significant development in the ongoing legal battle over the Mathura Shahi Eidgah-Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi dispute, the Allahabad High Court has today rejected a plea that sought the revocation of a previous order mandating a joint hearing of all related civil cases. The decision, announced today, follows a session where arguments were heard on the contention that each of the 18 cases under consideration should be treated distinctly due to their unique legal grounds and sought reliefs.
The court, presided over by Justice Mayank Kumar Jain, upheld its January 11, 2024, directive, emphasizing judicial efficiency as the cornerstone for its decision to consolidate the hearings. This ruling implies that all cases will continue to be adjudicated simultaneously, despite arguments from one side that individual hearings would better serve the complexities of each case.
