India's Supreme Court to hear mosque management plea in Mathura temple-mosque dispute.

The Supreme Court of India will hear a plea from a mosque management committee in Mathura on January 15th regarding the Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Idgah dispute. The committee is challenging a rejection of their petition, arguing that the suits filed by Hindu litigants violate the Places of Worship Act, which prohibits changing the religious character of shrines. The Hindu party seeks to remove the mosque, claiming it was built after a temple's demolition, while the high court has said the religious character needs to be determined.
