LUCKNOW – The Muslim side faced a setback in the longstanding dispute over the Teele Wali Masjid in the Uttar Pradesh capital of Lucknow as the Additional District Sessions and Court of First Instance rejected its revision plea on Wednesday.

The case now is slated to be heard in the lower court. The decision marks a pivotal moment in the legal battle surrounding the historic site.

The controversy revolves around the mound mosque with the Hindu side asserting its rights over the area known as Lakshman Tila. Hindu Mahasabha spokesperson, Shishir Chaturvedi, hailed the court’s decision as a significant triumph for Hindus, emphasising the historical and cultural significance of Lakshman Tila.

According to Chaturvedi, Lucknow, often referred to as Lakshman Nagari, holds deep-rooted Sanatan heritage, symbolised by Lakshman Tila. He alleged that the Muslim community had converted the site into a mosque, depriving Hindus of their right to worship and claiming ownership over the temple.

The Muslim side’s petition challenging the maintainability of the case was rejected and the  court upheld the trial’s legitimacy, paving the way for the case to proceed in the lower court. Chaturvedi underscored the broader implications of this decision, likening it to the movements surrounding Ayodhya, Mathura, Kashi, and other historically significant sites.

The controversy surrounding the Lucknow mound mosque dates back to decades, with its roots intertwined with historical narratives and political dynamics. Late Lalji Tandon, former MP and governor of Lucknow, chronicled the dispute in his book “Ankaha Lucknow,” attributing the construction of the mosque to Aurangzeb’s era and framing it as a disruption of the city’s connection with Lord Ram’s brother, Lakshman.
