Mathura, Uttar Pradesh: Allahabad High Court on Friday dismissed a petition seeking to refer to the site of Shahi Eidgah Mosque of Mathura as a “disputed structure.”

The plea had sought to use the word disputed structure in place of Shahi Idgah Mosque in the entire further proceedings of this original suit in the ongoing Sri Krishna Janmabhoomi–Shahi Idgah case. The demand was also supported by an affidavit from advocate Mahendra Pratap Singh on behalf of the Hindu side, who aimed to have the Shahi Idgah mosque officially designated as a “disputed structure” in the court recordings.
