He said that these are the only grounds on the basis of which Shebaitship rights of a shebait can be taken away.

Relying on witness testimonies he submitted that the disputed structure was never used as a mosque till 1856-57, and no historic evidence has been found to show that namaz was offered there.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Bobde told Mr. Jain to focus on those evidences which support his case and prove his right of Shebaitship.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Jain stated that \u201cThere were tons of documents establishing the right of shebaitship, but in dacoity they all have got stolen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After quoting a number of witness testimonies, Mr. Jain submitted that presence of Nirmohi Akhara and its possession has never been doubted, there is no dispute about it. He stated that the Allahabad High Court has also recognised in its impugned judgement that Nirmohi Akhara was managing the affairs even after idols were placed under the central dome of the disputed structure.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Chandrachud told Mr. Jain that he has categorically denied that<a rel=\"nofollow\" name=\"_Hlk17731069\"><\/a>Plaintiff No. 1 and Plaintiff No. 2 in Suit 5\u00a0are juridical persons, however in his oral submissions he says that they are juridical persons, but, the moment he accepts that they are juridical persons, they have right to be represented by counsels.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Chandrachud asked him that if the suit of the deity fails, who will he be shebait for? \u201cYou stand together, you fall together\u201d Justice Chandrachud added.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Jain said that his only endeavour it to get his suit accepted. This prompted Justice Bobde to ask, \u201cShould we take it then that you are not seeking dismissal of Suit 5?\u201d Mr. Jain stated that in this regard he will be able to make a statement tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Chandrachud told Mr. Jain that there is no boundary between his claim as a shebait and claim of Plaintiff No. 3 as next friend, because even if the case is decreed in their favour, Nirmohi Akhara can independently claim shebaitship.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Chandrachud further explained that the moment he said that Plaintiff No. 1 and Plaintiff No. 2 are juridical persons, there is no conflict between his suit and their suit, and even if the suit is decreed in their favour, he will still be entitled to assert his cause of action.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Chandrachud told him that he is unnecessarily entering an area of conflict which does not belong to him, it belongs to Sunni Central Waqf Board.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Jain was further told Justice Chandrachud that his case is that Suit no. 5 cannot be maintained, then the only consequence would be dismissal of the Suit, and if the Suit no. 5 is dismissed, he should consider what the consequences would be for him, he cannot be shebait for a mosque.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Chandrachud said that his submission should be to independently accept his suit, without opposing to Suit no. 5.<\/p>\n<p>Agreeing, Mr. Jain submitted that his endeavour is this only, but the possession has to be handed over to him.<\/p>\n<p>Quoting from precedents, Mr. Jain stated that an idol is certainly a juridical person, who can hold property, has power to sue, be sued in respect of the property, but its personality is linked with physical personality of Shebiat.<\/p>\n<p>Relying on caselaws, Mr. Jain further submitted that it has been held that shebait can maintain a suit on behalf of the deity in his own name and need not implead the deity as a party to any case.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Chandrachud pointed out that in the suits in which deity is vitally interested, it has to be heard. Mr. Jain said that the personality of idol is merged with the shebiat, and the shebiat is suing on behalf of the deity. However, Mr. Jain said that plaintiff in the suit of next friend has mentioned that Shebiat is not acting in the interest of deity.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Chandrachud explained that if a claim is brought by debtor or there is a suit for recovery of property belonging to the deity, then you will not implead the deity, because in such a situation shebait may represent the deity, but in a situation where it has to be established whether a person is his or her shebait, then the deity clearly has right to implead and ascertain whether this person has the shebaitship.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. SK Jain will continue his submissions tomorrow, 27<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0August 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senior Advocate Sushil Kumar Jain resumed his arguments for Nirmohi Akhara before the 5-Judge Constitution bench headed by the Chief Justice of India, Justice Ranjan Gogoi.
