The Allahabad High Court is scheduled to announce its verdict on Tuesday concerning five petitions filed by Anjuman Intezamia Masajid (AIM) and others. These petitions question the admissibility of an ongoing civil suit before a Varanasi court, which aims to restore a temple at the location occupied by the Gyanvapi mosque. Furthermore, the petition contests a directive issued by the Varanasi court on April 8, 2021, mandating a comprehensive survey of the Gyanvapi complex.
PRAYAGRAJ: The Allahabad high court on Tuesday will articulate its judgment on each of the five petitions recorded by Anjuman Intezamia Masajid (Point) and others testing the practicality of a common suit forthcoming under the steady gaze of a Varanasi court, looking for reclamation of a sanctuary at the site where the Gyanvapi mosque exists.
In the request, a Varanasi court’s bearing dated April 8, 2021, for leading a complete review of the Gyanvapi complex has likewise been challengedGyanvapi mosque exists.
On December 8, Justice Rohit Ranjan Agarwal concluded the hearing and reserved his judgment, considering arguments from both parties – the petitioners AIM, responsible for the Gyanvapi mosque, and UP Sunni Central Waqf Board, as well as the respondents from the Hindu side. The lawsuit brought forth by the Hindu side contends that the mosque was constructed on an ancient Shiva temple and demands the reinstatement of the said temple.
Nevertheless, AIM argues that the suit lacks merit under the Places of Worship Act (Special Provisions) Act of 1991, which prohibits altering the character of a religious structure as it existed on August 15, 1947.
