The Allahabad High Court rejected a plea filed by Muslim parties challenging a Varanasi court order allowing Hindu prayers in the southern cellar of the Gyanvapi Mosque. This decision is part of a civil court case disputing the religious nature of the Gyanvapi compound, with conflicting claims about historical possession and the demolition of an ancient temple.
The Allahabad High Court has reserved its judgment on the appeal filed by the Gyanvapi Mosque committee contesting the Varanasi Court’s decision permitting Hindu prayers in the ‘Vyas Tehkhana’. The case, which revolves around possession and religious rights, highlights the delicate balance between religious freedom and property laws. The judgment’s outcome is anticipated to have significant implications.
