Gyanvapi Mosque Case: Varanasi Court Upholds Maintainability Of Hindu Side’s Petition

Varanasi: A petition seeking permission for daily worship of Hindu deities whose idols are located on an outer wall of the Gyanvapi mosque has been rejected by the Varanasi district court on Monday.

The court upheld the maintainability of the Hindu side’s petition in the Gyanvapi mosque complex case.

District Judge A K Vishvesh ordered that it would continue to hear the petition seeking the right to worship in the temple.

Five women had filed the petition seeking permission for daily worship of Hindu deities whose idols are claimed to be located on an outer wall of the Gyanvapi mosque.

The Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee has said the Gyanvapi mosque is a Waqf property and has questioned the maintainability of the plea.

The district judge had last month reserved the order till September 12 in the communally sensitive matter. The court fixed September 22 as the next date of hearing in the case.
