The Mathura Shahi Masjid Committee has approached the Supreme Court over the Place of Work Act 1991. The committee has asked the court to intervene in a petition challenging the bill. The commission said it was an important party in the case because of the impact the decision would have on it. Therefore, he should also be a party. The Supreme Court will hear the case on Thursday. Recently, the Gyanvapi Masjid Committee also filed an application for intervention on this issue.
The issue of a total land of 13.37 acres is at the root of the Mathura temple-masjid dispute. The Shri Krishna Temple covers an area of approximately 11 acres, while the Shahi Idgah Mosque covers an area of 2.37 acres. The Hindu side also claims the land of the Shahi Idgha Masjid.
