The Supreme Court has taken an important decision to send the disputes related to Gyanvapi, Mathura (Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Eidgah) and Sambhal to a special Lok Adalat to resolve them through negotiations. Under the ‘Samadhan’ initiative, the main hearing of all these cases is to be held in the Supreme Court on 21, 22 and 23 August. Earlier, following the instructions of the Supreme Court, efforts for reconciliation were made in the Special Lok Adalat of Mathura.
The Hindu side had proposed exchange of land in exchange for removal of the disputed structure. However, the initiative could not move forward as the Muslim side did not appear before the Lok Adalat, and the matter is now listed for hearing in the Supreme Court in August. The Supreme Court is currently hearing a petition related to the Shahi Jama Masjid controversy. To maintain peace and harmony, the court has stayed the orders of survey at the lower court level. SC talked about a settlement through Lok Adalat by sitting together and talking to each other.
Earlier, following the instructions of the Supreme Court on the special leave petitions (SLPs) related to the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Idgah Masjid dispute, settlement talks were held in the local Lok Adalat, but it failed. In fact, the Eidgah party did not come to the court to participate in the proceedings. As a result, an order was issued by the District Legal Services Authority on Thursday regarding the failure of reconciliation talks.
Hindu party filed 18 cases
In the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi case, Hindu party Mahendra Pratap Singh said that a total of 18 cases have been filed regarding the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi and Shahi Idgah Mosque case. The hearing of all these cases is currently going on in Allahabad High Court. Recently, some people filed seven special leave petitions in the Supreme Court, proposing that the dispute be resolved through an agreement between the two parties.
Muslim side did not appear during reconciliation proceedings
In this case, the Supreme Court transferred the case to a special Lok Adalat in Mathura and directed that efforts be made to reach a compromise. On Saturday, conciliation proceedings took place in the Special Lok Adalat in the court of ADJ-11 Surendra Prasad. The litigants from the Hindu side were present during the proceedings, but the Muslim side did not appear. As a result, reconciliation talks failed.
