The Hindu side has filed 18 suits for possession of land after removal of Shahi Idgah masjid and for the restoration of the temple that stood earlier aside from a permanent injunction.

On August 1, 2024, the high court had rejected applications of the Muslim side challenging maintainability of suits of Hindu worshippers and held that all suits of Hindu worshippers were maintainable.

In the August 1 order, the court also held that these suits were not barred by Limitation Act, Waqf Act and Places of Worship Act,1991 which prohibits conversion of any religious structure as existed on August 15, 1947.

On October 23, 2024, the high court rejected an application moved by the Shahi Idgah mosque committee to recall the high court's January 11, 2024 order consolidating all suits filed in connection with the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Idgah dispute at Mathura.

The controversy is related to Mughal emperor Aurangazeb-era Shahi Idgah mosque at Mathura, which is alleged to have been built after demolishing a temple at the birthplace of Lord Krishna.
