A civil judge in Mathura, who began hearing the Shahi Idgah mosque-Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi dispute case, on Thursday admitted a fresh suit of advocate Ranjana Agnihotri, which has come back to the civil court on the directions of the district court earlier this month.
Significantly, a district court had last week overturned the civil court’s dismissal of Ms. Agnihotri’s suit, directing that it be considered afresh by the civil judge (senior division) in Mathura.
On these directions, civil judge (senior division) Jyoti admitted the suit on Thursday and asked the plaintiffs to serve a copy of the plaint to defendants.
