Petition filed in the Supreme Court for the appointment of government representative in Masjid Trust in Ayodhya. A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court regarding the appointment of the representative of the government in the Ayodhya Mosque Trust set up for the construction of a mosque in Ayodhya. This petition has been filed by Karunesh Shukla, a lawyer from the Hindu side in Ayodhya case through his lawyer Vishnu Jain.

The Sunni Central Waqf Board of Uttar Pradesh has formed a 15-member trust ‘Indo-Islamic Cultural Foundation’ for the construction of a mosque on the land allotted in Ayodhya by the UP government on the direction of the Supreme Court.

It should be noted that on November 9 last year in the Ayodhya case, the court directed the Central Government to give the disputed land for the construction of the temple and to form a trust. The court also directed the government to allot five acres of land for construction of the mosque at a prominent place in Ayodhya to the Sunni Waqf Board.

According to a press release issued by the board, under the Supreme Court’s decision and order in the Ayodhya case, the Uttar Pradesh government allotted 5 acres of land in Dhanipur village in Ayodhya and the board accepted it in February 2020. The board has formed a trust named Indo Islamic Cultural Foundation for its construction.
