The application was filed in the pending suit before the high court concerning Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Idgah mosque dispute. The petition was filed by the deity (Bhagwan Sri Krishna Virajman) and seven others through advocates Hari Shankar Jain, Vishnu Shankar Jain, Prabhash Pandey and Devki Nandan, claiming that Lord Sri Krishna's birthplace lies beneath the mosque and that there are many signs which establish that the mosque was a Hindu temple.
