Baghpat: The five-decade-old Lakshgriha-Mazar conflict in Uttar Pradesh's Baghpat has finally been resolved in favour of the Hindu side.
The ADJ court in Baghpat issued its ruling on Monday, awarding the Hindu side title rights to more than 100 bighas of the disputed property and tomb. This lawsuit had testimony from over ten Hindu witnesses.
Civil judge Shivam Dwivedi dismissed the Muslim side's suit.
The lawsuit was going on between the Hindu side and the Muslim side for more than 50 years over the matter.
The Mahabharata-era Lakshgriha, constructed in Baghpat's Barnawa, became a focal point of a prolonged dispute between Hindu and Muslim factions.
The legal battle, initiated with a case filed in a Meerut court in 1970, concluded with the Baghpat District and Sessions Court ruling in favour of the Hindu claimants.
