A local court in Mathura on Friday admitted a plea that seeks to remove a mosque adjacent to the Krishna Janmabhoomi.
The court of district judge Sadhna Rani Thakur has fixed November 18 as the next date of hearing in the case.
Earlier in October, a civil court in Mathura had dismissed a plea seeking a judgment to remove the Shahi Idgah Mosque. The petitioner had alleged that the mosque was built over Krishna Janmabhoomi.
Mathura is considered to be the birthplace of Lord Krishna.
The mosque in question was built in the 17th century. According to petitioners, it was built at the birthplace of Lord Krishna, within the 13-acre premises of the Katra Keshav Dev temple.
