New Delhi: Supreme Court has extended the sealing order for the 'Shivling' area at Gyanvapi mosque complex till further order. The court has given us three weeks time to respond to a petition from the Muslim side.
The apex court was hearing a plea seeking extension of the protection of the area in Kashi Vishwanath temple-Gyanvapi mosque complex, where a ‘Shivling’ was claimed to have been found during a videographic survey of the mosque premises earlier this year.
The mosque committee had challenged this before the Allahabad High Court, which dismissed the appeal on April 21. The committee then approached the Supreme Court.
