Allahabad High Court on Monday.
The hearing was put off at the request of the Shahi Masjid Idgah Committee who informed the Court that they had filed a Special Leave petition (SLP) against the order in the Supreme Court the apex court has fixed January 9 as the date of hearing. Therefore, the hearing has been postponed till then.
A total of 18 civil suits are pending.
Justice Mayank Jain of Allahabad High Court is hearing the case.
It is known that the court while giving its verdict on the maintainability petition and the petition seeking report by appointing a court commission, had said that the hearing would be held after the plaintiff's objection on the maintainability petition is obtained. Court had accepted the petition to appoint a commission and hearings were to be held to decide the framework.
But the hearing could not take place as the SLP was pending in the Supreme Court.
The court has appointed former district judge advocate Markandey Rai as amicus curiae.
Earlier, the Allahabad High Court gave a key decision in the ongoing Shri Krishna Janambhoomi case, after it approved the conduct of a scientific survey on the Shahi Idgah complex at Mathura.
The survey will be conducted in the same manner in which it has been done at the Gyanvapi Temple in Varanasi. The court on Thursday appointed an advocate commissioner and gave in-principle approval for surveying the Shahi Idgah complex.
