Allahabad High Court

A bench of Justices MR Shah and CT Ravikumar gave the parties three months time to implement the order while also granting liberty to Waqf Masjid High Court ...

The SLPs stand dismissed, but we grant further three months time to devise removal of the construction by the petitioners," the Court said..The matter has its genesis in a petition filed in the Allahabad High Court by Abhishek Shukla, who had contended that the mosque, a waqf property stood on land, which originally belonged to the High Court.On November 8, 2017, a division bench of the Allahabad High Court of Chief Justice DB Bhosale and Justice MK Gupta had arrived at a conclusion that the unauthorized structures existing over the site in dispute in the High Court premises, cannot be permitted to continue.The High Court had noted the “acute crunch of space” in the premises, and observed that the Waqf property was causing hindrance to the movement of the fire brigade.It was observed that due to the increase in the number of the judges and the shortage of space, the High Court could not arrange separate chambers for twelve judges, who are sharing six chambers.The Uttar Pradesh Sunni Central Waqf Board had, accordingly, been directed to remove the mosque and hand over the possession of the land to the High Court within three months.When the matter reached the Supreme Court, the High Court had said that it cannot permit the mosque to remain in its premises.The Supreme Court had in April 2018 issued notice to the State government, to ascertain if the State would be willing to provide alternate land for the mosque. Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati said there is another mosque adjacent to the High Court, and the appellants had rightly said that they do not have any claim or rights to the disputed property..Advocate MR Shamshad also appeared for the petitioners.[Follow our live-coverage of today's hearing] We see no reason to interfere with the impugned judgment and order of the High Court.

Allahabad High Court Mosque Case: सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने कहा कि इलाहाबाद हाई कोर्ट के आदेश में कोई कमी नहीं ...

मस्जिद की प्रबंधन समिति की ओर से पेश वरिष्ठ अधिवक्ता कपिल सिब्बल ने कहा कि मस्जिद 1950 के दशक से है और इसे यूं ही हटाने के लिए नहीं कहा जा सकता. हाई कोर्ट ने 2018 में ही सार्वजनिक ज़मीन पर बनी इस मस्जिद को हटाने के लिए कहा था. कोर्ट ने मस्जिद हटाए जाने का विरोध करने वाले याचिकाकर्ताओं को बताया गया कि संरचना एक खत्म हो चुके पट्टे (लीज) पर ली गई संपत्ति पर है और वे अधिकार के रूप में इसे कायम रखने का दावा नहीं कर सकते.

हालांकि मुस्लिम वकीलों की मांग पर हाई कोर्ट ने दक्षिणी छोर पर एक जगह नमाज के लिए दे दी। यहीं पर बाद में मस्जिद बन गई, लेकिन इस जमीन की लीज खत्म किए जाने के बाद मस्जिद हटाने की भी मांग हो रही है, जो गलत है। उन्होंने कहा कि जिस मस्जिद को हटाने की बात हो रही है, वह तो इलाहाबाद हाई कोर्ट परिसर के बाहर रोड किनारे पर बनी है। ऐसे में यह कहना गलत होगा कि यह मस्जिद हाई कोर्ट परिसर के अंदर है। शीर्ष अदालत ने कहा कि हाई कोर्ट ने 2012 में अपनी जमीन वापस मांगी थी। इस पर मस्जिद का कोई कानूनी अधिकार नहीं है। ऐसे में हम हाई कोर्ट के फैसले पर कोई दखल नहीं दे सकते। बता दें कि अभिषेक शुक्ला नाम के एडवोकेट की अर्जी पर इलाहाबाद हाई कोर्ट ने मस्जिद हटाए जाने का आदेश दिया था। वहीं मस्जिद के पक्ष में बोलते हुए कपिल सिब्बल ने कहा कि इलाहाबाद हाई कोर्ट की इमारत 1861 में तैयार हुई थी। उसके बाद से ही मुस्लिम वकील, क्लर्क और क्लाइंट उत्तरी कोने पर शुक्रवार को नमाज पढ़ा करते थे। लेकिन इस जगह पर बाद में जजों के चेंबर बन गए। इलाहाबाद हाई कोर्ट परिसर में बनी मस्जिद को हटाने के लिए सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने 3 माह का वक्त दिया है। शीर्ष अदालत ने इलाहाबाद हाई कोर्ट के उस फैसले को बरकरार रखते हुए यह आदेश दिया है, जिसमें उसने अपने परिसर से मस्जिद हटाने को कहा था। अदालत ने वक्फ मस्जिद हाई कोर्ट और यूपी सुन्नी सेंट्रल वक्फ बोर्ड की ओर से दायर याचिकाओं को खारिज कर दिया और कहा कि आपको मस्जिद हटाने के लिए तीन महीने का वक्त दिया जाता है। जस्टिस एमआर शाह और जस्टिस सीटी रविकुमार की बेंच ने कहा कि यदि आज से तीन महीने के अंदर आप मस्जिद को नहीं हटाते हैं तो फिर अथॉरिटीज को यह छूट होगी कि वह उसे गिरा दें।

The Supreme Court, on Monday, affirmed the order passed by the Allahabad High Court in 2017 for the removal of a mosque named "Masjid High Court" from its ...

In 2017, the high court had instructed the registrar-general to ensure that no part of its premises, either in Allahabad or in Lucknow, was permitted to be used “for practicing religion or offering prayers or to worship or to carry on any religious activity by any group of persons”. The High Court alleged that the waqf was registered only after the lessees, who had originally constructed no more than a ‘tin shed’, lost in the Supreme Court and were directed to hand over possession of encroached land. It was argued that in order to dedicate, one ought to be full owner of the land. And there is no vacant plot in the tehsil.This is the second round of litigation. He added that renewal applications were filed twice since the lease was granted but there was no whisper at all about the mosque being constructed and it being a public mosque. Around 1988, the lease of the land on which the mosque was situated was renewed for another 30 years, which was to come to an end in 2017. It was urged that the Waqf does not have a problem if the mosque is shifted to an alternative place. Dwivedi took the Bench through the history of the status of the lease since 1861. Sibal submitted that the mosque was functioning as a public mosque for decades. He emphasized that the Waqf doesn’t want to jeopardize fire safety and for that reason is amenable to an alternative solution, i.e., alternative site. If the construction is not removed within a period of 3 months from today, it will be open for authorities including the High Court to have them removed or demolished, the bench added. The bench noted that the Supreme Court had in 2012 affirmed the resumption of land and hence, the petitioners cannot claim any legal right over the premises.

The state might consider moving it to somewhere else, advocate Dwivedi said, adding that there was a shortage of parking on the premises. If namaz is allowed for convenience in the Supreme Court verandah or HC verandah, it will not become a mosque.” On the contrary, Sibal excused himself from the argument that it was a Waqf mosque. The mere fact that they are offering namaz will not make it a mosque. In 2004, the land was resumed in favour of the Allahabad High Court. The mosque is located inside the High Court premises.

बेंच ने कहा कि "हम दोबारा इस ढांचे को हटाने के लिए तीन महीने की मोहलत देते हैं. अदालत ने याचिकाकर्ता से कहा कि यह जमीन लीज प्रॉपर्टी की है जिसकी मियाद खत्म हो चुकी है. अदालत ने यह भी कहा कि याचिकाकर्ता इस पर जारी रखने के अधिकार का दावा नहीं कर सकते.
