The ongoing dispute over the Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Idgah in Mathura has taken a new turn as the Hindu side has rejected the 1968 compromise. In a submission to the Allahabad High Court, the Hindu side argued that the deity was not a party to the claimed compromise between the two sides in 1968 or the court decree passed in 1974. The counsel for the Hindu side further stated that the compromise was made by Sri Krishna Janmasthan Seva Sansthan, which did not have the authority to enter into such an agreement. The Sansthan's role is limited to managing the day-to-day activities of the temple and does not include the power to make compromises. The matter is currently being heard by Justice Mayank Kumar Jain, and arguments from the Hindu side will continue on Thursday [e87d4528].
