Mathura temple trust files suit in Shahi Eidgah case

The Sri Krishna Janmabhoomi Trust in Agra is challenging a compromise made in the 1960s between a temple body and the Shahi Masjid Eidgah over disputed land. The trust is seeking to strengthen its claim over a 13.37-acre tract of land adjacent to the Sri Krishna Janmabhoomi temple complex. Multiple suits have been filed claiming that the Eidgah complex was built on land belonging to the Trust. The trust is now seeking a cancellation of the agreement made in 1968 and a declaration that the land belongs to the Trust.
