A district court here on Wednesday rejected a revision application seeking permission to perform the “jalabhishek” of Lord Krishna at the Shahi Idgah mosque, which Hindu outfits believe has been built at the birthplace of the deity.

The revision petition was filed by Dinesh Sharma, national treasurer of the Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha.

“The court of Sanjay Chaudhary has rejected the application since the lower court has not passed any final order,” District Government Counsel Sanjai Gaur said.

Sharma had sought permission for the “jalabhishek” of the deity, claiming that the real birthplace of Lord Krishna exists inside the mosque.

Several petitions filed in Mathura courts have sought the shifting of the mosque, which according to petitioners has been built at the birthplace of Lord Krishna, within the 13.37-acre premises of the Katra Keshav Dev temple.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
