Gyanvapi Case: Muslim side to move Supreme Court against Allahabad HC verdict allowing ASI survey of Gyanvapi complex

Gyanvapi Mosque

New Delhi: Muslim side is likely to move Supreme Court against the verdict of the Allahabad High Court which on Thursday allowed the Archaeological Survey of India to conduct a survey of the Gyanvapi mosque complex in Varanasi. 

In its order, the HC said that scientific survey is necessary in the complex."Allahabad High Court has said that ASI survey of Gyanvapi mosque complex will start. Sessions court order is upheld by the High Court," Vishnu Shankar Jain, representing the Hindu side in Gyanvapi survey case said.

The Allahabad high court had dismissed Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee's plea, challenging the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) survey of the mosque complex, adjacent to Kashi Vishwanath temple in Varanasi.

The Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee had challenged the Varanasi district judge's July 21 verdict. Varanasi district judge AK Vishvesha on July 21 ordered the ASI survey of the Gyanvapi complex on an application moved by four Hindu women on May 16, 2023. (with Agency inputs)
