NEW DELHI: The Allahabad High Court has rejected an application seeking to make goddess Radha a party to one of the 18 suits related to the Mathura Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Idgah title dispute.
Justice Ram Manohar Narayan Mishra dismissed the application on May 23, stating that Puranic illustrations cannot be considered as direct evidence in legal proceedings.
The application was filed through Advocate Reena N Singh, claiming that Shriji Radha Rani is the legal wife and feminine form of the plaintiff, Sri Bhagwan Krishna Lala Virajman. The petitioner argued that both deities jointly hold the disputed land of 13.37 acres.
"Puranic illustrations are considered hearsay evidence," the court stated while rejecting the application.
"The claim of the applicant as a joint holder of property in dispute together with plaintiff is based on some reference in various Purans and Sanhitas wherein Shriji Radha Rani is considered as the soul of lord Krishna," the court observed.
The court noted that Pauranic illustrations and their depictions "is usually based on narrative and not on direct observation or testimony."

The applicant sought to be included as a necessary party to the suit under order one rule 10 of civil procedure code, claiming joint ownership based on references in Purans and Sanhitas.
The court found that the applicant failed to provide any concrete evidence or binding authority to support the claim in the disputed matter, which is claimed as Lord Krishna's birthplace where the Shahi Idgah Masjid currently stands.
"This court finds force in the objection raised by some of the parties to the suit in regard to impleadment application filed on behalf of Shriji Radha Rani. There is no averment in the impleadment application that there was a temple of Radha Rani in the property in dispute," the court concluded.
The court left room for future consideration if the applicant presents concrete evidence supporting the claim of joint ownership.
The plaintiffs in the main case claim that Sri Krishna's birthplace temple in Mathura has been under encroachment since 1669-70 by the Shahi Idgah Masjid management. They seek removal of the alleged illegal encroachment.
The dispute centers around the Shahi Idgah mosque in Mathura, allegedly built during Mughal emperor Aurangzeb's era after demolishing a temple at Lord Krishna's birthplace.

75+ Eid Mubarak Messages, Greetings, Wishes and Quotes for Eid-ul-Adha 2025
Eid ul-Adha, or Bakrid , is a day of great importance for Muslims around the world. It marks the day when Prophet Ibrahim, a believer and follower of God's word, was ready to sacrifice his son when God asked him to. But seeing his devotion, God sent a ram to take his son's place. Today, families mark this occasion by offering a sacrifice, which is usually a goat, sheep, or cow, and sharing it with loved ones and those in need by offering donations and charity. It is a day of prayer, gratitude, and giving, and a reminder of devotion, generosity, and the importance of caring for one another. And with Eid ul-Adha falling on June 6, here we mention some heartfelt messages, greetings, wishes, and more to send to family and loved ones on Eid. Eid Mubarak everyone!

Students worry as number of intermediate seats ‘shrink'
1 2 3 Ranchi: As the race to secure admissions in intermediate courses in city's educational institutes gets tighter, students, who are eyeing to secure seats, are getting worried over the lesser number of seats up for grabs. Students of the Jharkhand Academic Council (JAC), whose matriculation results were announced after ICSE and CBSE boards, even though are applying both on offline and online modes, they are facing a tight competition after several degree colleges in the city stopped admissions in intermediate courses from last year. By the time the JAC results were published, several institutions had already begun the admission process, leaving limited opportunities for JAC candidates. Out of 3.95 lakh students who passed JAC matric exams this year, over 30,000 are from Ranchi alone. With overwhelming number of applications, some institutions have submitted requests to the JAC seeking an increase in seat allotments. St. Xavier's College has sold 2,000 applications so far for 384 seats across all streams. Admissions will be conducted based on an entrance examination. Principal of the Inter Division, Fr Ajay Tirkey, informed that application forms are available online until June 7. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video] getfittoday Undo At Ursuline Inter College, application forms are being distributed offline at a fee of Rs 300. Last year, the college had 384 seats per stream, and a proposal has been submitted to increase this number. Principal Sister Mary Grace stated said, "The final merit list will be released soon. We are witnessing a high number of applicants. If seat allotment is not revised, accommodating all deserving students will be a major challenge. " At St. Anne's Intermediate College, application forms are available in all three faculties, including arts, science, and commerce. The college currently offers 512 seats per stream, and a proposal for increasing seats has been forwarded. Students scoring above 80% are being enrolled directly. Alka Rani, a former student of govt middle school in Ormanjhi, said, "The shortage of seats has become a major concern as admissions in degree colleges have been scrapped."

More than 200 fruit trees to boost Salt Lake green cover
1 2 Kolkata: The Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation (BMC) will plant over 200 small and medium-sized fruit trees of different varieties across Salt Lake. BMC MMIC (Environment) Rahima Bibi Mondal said saplings of mango, rose apple, guava, sapota, and other trees will be planted at various locations. "The fruit trees will be planted along the roads and parks. Surveys are being carried out to find suitable locations for plantation. The aim is to increase greenery," Mondal said. It was earlier decided by the civic authorities that henceforth, only small and medium-sized flower and fruit trees would be planted instead of the taller varieties. This decision was taken to ensure better urban planning and safety, as a number of accidents had occurred recently due to tall trees getting uprooted and falling on the road. Two years ago, a 40-year-old died after succumbing to injuries a few days after a large dead tree fell on him inside a cluster at Salt Lake's Purbachal housing. Horticulture experts mentioned that the nature of the soil in Salt Lake is such that large trees, which have deep roots, should not be planted on the roadside boulevards as they cannot penetrate deep into the soil. "Instead, small or medium-sized palm trees should be considered," said an expert. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Device Made My Power Bill Drop Overnight elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Pre-Order Undo The civic authorities have started conducting a fresh tall tree health survey across Salt Lake. "Councillors are providing a list of tall trees that are in bad shape. Those that are dead or in a very damaged state will be uprooted, and other trees will be trimmed to reduce their weight so that they can properly stand. Trees showing signs of decay or structural weakness will either be treated by trimming or cutting off the damaged portions or be removed if necessary and replaced with suitable small or medium-sized trees," said a civic official. Residents are welcoming the civic body's move, saying that tall trees had fallen several times at different places, not only causing accidents but also damaging public utilities like cars and boundary walls of parks.
