A Mathura court on Monday ordered the counsel for petitioners to provide copies of the suit seeking shifting of the Shahi Masjid Idgah to the UP Sunni Central Waqf Board and other defendants before the next hearing on August 26, a government lawyer said.

The court took exception to the delay in furnishing the copies of the suit - 'Manish Yadav Vs U.P. Sunni Central Waqf Board and others' - to the defendants of the suit prior to the next hearing, district government counsel (civil) Sanjai Gaur said.
