Today, On 10th December, the Allahabad High Court postponed the hearing on a plea regarding the Gyanvapi mosque’s ‘wazukhana’ area to December 17. The petition challenges a Varanasi court’s order related to an Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) survey. The case involves ongoing disputes over the historical mosque and its origins.
Today, On 11th September, in the Gyanvapi case, the Hindu side requested court permission for an Archaeological Survey of India excavation at the disputed site, aiming to uncover evidence of its religious history. The court will assess this request amid the ongoing legal dispute with the Muslim community. This case centers on the claim that a mosque was built atop an ancient Hindu temple, sparking a heated legal battle.
In the Gyanvapi mosque case, a Hindu plaintiff urges the Supreme Court to allow a scientific survey of an alleged ‘Shivling’. They emphasize the need for a detailed investigation and propose the removal of modern structures to facilitate the survey. This plea holds significance for India’s cultural and religious heritage and could set a precedent for similar cases.
