Recently, the Muslim party in the Sri Krishna Janmabhoomi case has filed a significant application in the High Court. Through this application, the Muslim party’s lawyer, Nasiruzzaman, has demanded that the order issued by the High Court on October 23rd be released in the English language. He has also requested the court to direct the court registry not to upload any orders in Hindi. The application states that certified copies of the order in Hindi should not be given until the official English translation is available.
Nasiruzzaman argued that the Hindi order of October 23rd should have been uploaded with the authorized English translation. He claims that the non-upload of the order in Hindi is a violation of the rules under the Official Languages Act, 1963, and questions the validity of such a deficient order.
Meanwhile, Mahendra Pratap Singh, the president of the Sri Krishna Janmabhoomi Mukti Nyas and another party in the Sri Krishna Janmabhoomi case, has termed the Muslim party’s demand as false and baseless. He stated that the orders issued in Hindi are completely valid, and the Muslim party is resorting to such applications only to delay the matter. Mahendra Pratap Singh also argues that the Muslim party filed this new application after the previous recall application was rejected, and it should be dismissed as well. Thus, he characterized the Muslim party’s strategy as an attempt to obstruct the judicial process.
Ashutosh Pandey, the president of the Sri Krishna Janmabhoomi Mukti Nirman Trust and another party in the case, has also expressed his opinion. He stated that it is time for the court to determine the points of contention in the lawsuit. He further indicated that the Muslim party is filing unnecessary applications with the intention of stalling the proceedings.
Thus, it is evident that there is a serious dispute between the different parties on this issue, which is significant not only from a legal perspective but also from social and political viewpoints.
