The Varanasi Fast Track Court dismissed the Hindu side’s plea for a new ASI survey of the Gyanvapi complex, as per Advocate Rastogi’s petition. Previously, an ASI survey detected historical artifacts amid claims that a mosque was built over a Hindu temple. Rastogi is considering appealing the decision.
A new legal dispute has arisen over the Gyanvapi controversy, focusing on a petition challenging the land swap involving Kashi Vishwanath Temple for the Vishwanath Corridor project’s development. Filed by Nityanand Rai, it questions the legitimacy of the swap between Uttar Pradesh government and Anjuman Intezamia Masajid Committee, alleging improper handling and advantageous changes in property nature.
A Varanasi court has ordered Hindu rituals to be performed in the Gyanvapi Mosque’s southern cellar. The decision mandates the creation of a conducive environment for these practices within seven days, reflecting the broader religious and cultural debates in India. The court’s directive has significant implications for the country’s religious and social landscape.
