Allahabad High Court To Hear Crucial Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Idgah Dispute Today
A key point in the hearing is the request to club all petitions and hear them together to streamline the legal process.
The court may also deliver a decision on whether or not these petitions will be jointly heard going forward, which could have a major impact on the pace and structure of the legal proceedings.
Multiple facets of the case will be discussed during Friday's hearing, some of which could be pivotal in shaping the future course of this legal battle.
Petitioner and advocate Mahendra Pratap Singh commented on the significance of the hearing, stating:
"In the matter of Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi and Shahi Idgah dispute, a hearing is scheduled for 2 p.m. today. Our special request to the Hon'ble Court will be to ensure an early resolution of the case so that it can proceed swiftly. We also believe that the Shahi Idgah side is deliberately delaying the proceedings, with the intent of stalling the case. Therefore, we will appeal to the Hon'ble Court to expedite the hearing and ensure that the matter progresses without unnecessary obstruction from the other side."
The case, which dates back decades, revolves around the Hindu side's claim that the Shahi Idgah Masjid was constructed atop the original birthplace of Lord Krishna. The Muslim side firmly disputes this assertion.
Additionally, there may be deliberations on the Muslim side's objection to the proposed 'Hindu Chetna Yatra', which has stirred controversy. The issue may be taken up in court, adding another dimension to the day's proceedings.
Both sides are expected to present strong arguments, as the outcome will significantly influence the timeline and trajectory of this high-profile legal dispute.

Cong-led UPA tried to malign RSS & its affiliates: Fadnavis
Nagpur: CM Devendra Fadnavis on Friday alleged the 'Hindu terror' narrative was a politically motivated conspiracy crafted by the Congress-led UPA govt in 2008 to malign Hindutva organisations, particularly the RSS and its 'Vichar Parivar' affiliates and build a false equivalence to 'Islamic terrorism', a term coined globally at that time. He said the Malegaon blast case acquittals busted what he called as a "Congre ss-fabricated plot. " "The Congress and UPA govt coined the terms 'Hindu terrorism' and 'saffron terror' to deliberately target Hindutva organisations," Fadnavis said addressing the meida a day after a trial court acquitted all seven accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast. The CM was reacting to both the verdict and to former Maharashtra ATS officer Mehboob Mujawar's claim that he was pressured by superiors to arrest RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat as part of the investigation in an effort aimed at reinforcing the saffron terror narrative. "From the early 1990s to early 2000s, the world was grappling with Islamic terrorism, with links pointing at Pakistan. The United States, Europe, and India all faced deadly terror strikes. Instead of confronting reality, the Congress sought to please its vote bank (with fabricated narrative)," Fadnavis alleged. He said the attempt to brand Hindu groups as terror outfits was not backed by any concrete evidence. "Many sincere and honest police officers took a stand. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You To Read in 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo They categorically told the political leadership there was no proof against RSS or Vichar Parivar functionaries. These officers refused to be part of any unlawful activity, which ultimately prevented misuse of law enforcement agencies," he said. Fadnavis said the fabricated narrative was a "deep-rooted conspiracy" to ban Hindutva organisations. Targeting Congress neta Prithviraj Chavan, he said, "Today, he talks about saffron as the sacred colour of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. But he was in the PMO under PM Manmohan Singh when the same colour was being painted as a symbol of terror. Why didn't he oppose it then?" —Vaibhav Ganjapure You Can Also Check: Mumbai AQI | Weather in Mumbai | Bank Holidays in Mumbai | Public Holidays in Mumbai

Shah to visit Assam on Aug 29, join land protection drive & unveil new Raj Bhavan
1 2 Guwahati: Ahead of the assembly election early next year, Union home minister Amit Shah will join the state in its drive to protect its lands from encroachers here on Aug 29. Shah, who is also the cooperation minister, will address the panchayat members from NDA on the state govt's plan to form cooperatives in every panchayat. These cooperatives will use the vacant govt land on lease for cultivation and farming so that no encroachment on any vacant govt land can take place. Large swathes of forest lands in the state, illegally occupied by Bangladesh-origin Muslim people, are being cleared by the state govt. CM Himanta Biswa Sarma, while addressing a press conference here on Friday, said, "The Union home minister will first inaugurate the newly constructed Raj Bhavan on Aug 29, which I think will be the best Raj Bhavan in the country. Thereafter, he will address a convention of the newly elected panchayat members of BJP and its ally Asom Gana Parishad." He further said the state govt is planning to form cooperative societies in every panchayat. "The responsibility of the cooperative societies will be to use the vacant govt land for agriculture, farming, or dairy. We want to inspire the panchayat members to use the vacant govt land for agriculture so that no encroachment can take place," he added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Indian NRIs Are Getting Eligible For INR 2 Lakh Monthly Pension On Retirement.

"Since Shah is also the cooperation minister, he will also address the panchayat members on this," he added. In the evening, Shah will attend the birth centenary of Assam's first non-Congress CM Golap Borbora. He will then return to Delhi. Borbora was arrested in 1975 during the Emergency for opposing the then Indira Gandhi govt and he spent 18 months in Tihar jail.

He was unanimously elected the first non-Congress chief minister of Assam in 1978, but his govt lasted for only 18 months. He was also a Rajya Sabha member from 1968 to 1974.

Nobody will dare touch a Hindu or a nationalist Muslim Bengali: Samik
Kolkata: Nobody would even dare to touch a Hindu or a nationalist Muslim Bengali, state BJP president Samik Bhattacharya said on Friday amid allegations of harassment faced by Bengali-speaking migrants in multiple BJP-governed states. Bhattacharya, who had earlier said BJP was not against Muslims, said a narrative was being crafted to create a fear psychosis. Bengal BJP netas, however, reiterated that those "faking Indian citizenship" would be identified. "There is a deliberate attempt to create fear psychosis among people. Nobody can touch even the hair of a Hindu, Hindu refugees or and Indian Muslims. BJP will stand by them," Bhattacharya said. He was answering questions regarding the "targeted harassment" of migrant workers and the alleged deletion of bona fide names from the voters' lists. "There are Hindus and Muslims who stayed back in India after the partition. They don't have to fear anything. Whichever commission comes here, the BJP will stand by them," Bhattacharya said. "Messages are being sent every day to scare migrant workers from Bengal. None of the state govts are against the Bengali migrant workers who went to those states in search of work. However, it is also true that speaking in Bangla is not the only criterion for being a voter or a bona fide resident of Bengal," he added.

"We are talking about those who are faking as voters in Bengal without any credentials. Their names will definitely be deleted and that cannot be altered," Majumdar said. Bengal LOP Suvendu Adhikari, in a press conference on Thursday, said names of persons under four categories might get deleted from the electoral roll. "Dead voters, double-entry voters, fake voters and illegal Muslim immigrants' names will not be on the voters' list," he said. Bhattacharya alleged Trinamool is demanding retention of names of "dead voters" in the electoral roll. "This cannot be the stand of a political party. They are trying to undermine a constitutional body and intimidate its officials," he said.
