Gyanvapi Mosque Case: A big decision of the court has come out in the Gyanvapi Mosque case of Varanasi. A court in Varanasi on Wednesday allowed Hindu devotees to worship inside the sealed basement of the Varanasi Gyanvapi mosque . The court has allowed the Hindu side to conduct regular worship inside the sealed basement (Vyas Ji Tahkhana) of the Gyanvapi Mosque.
Hindu side’s lawyer Madan Mohan Yadav said that the Varanasi court has given permission to Hindus to worship in the basement of Vyas ji located in Gyanvapi complex. The lawyer said that the Kashi Vishwanath Trust will conduct the puja in the basement of Vyas ji located in the Gyanvapi complex.
The court, during its hearing earlier in the day, also directed the district administration to make necessary arrangements for this in the next seven days.
Advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain, representing the Hindu side in the Gyanvapi case, said, “…the puja will start within 7 days. Everyone will have the right to perform the puja.” Jain said, “The Hindu side was allowed to worship at ‘Vyas Ka Tahkhana’. The district administration will have to make arrangements within 7 days.”
Madan Mohan Yadav, the second lawyer of the Hindu side, confirmed this while talking to PTI and said that the court of District Judge Ajay Krishna Vishwesh has given the right to perform puja in the basement to Vyas ji’s grandson Shailendan Pathak.
He told that the administration will make arrangements to conduct the puja within 7 days and the work of conducting the puja will be done by Kashi Vishwanath Trust. Yadav told that the road will be opened in front of Nandi Maharaj sitting in front of Gyanvapi.
‘Gyanvapi Mosque was built on the remains of the temple’
Shankar Jain said that the survey report of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) indicated that the Gyanvapi Mosque was built on the remains of an older temple already existing there. Jain said that copies of the 839-page survey report of ASI have been made available to the concerned parties by the court.
Jain said that it has become clear from the survey report that the mosque was built on the remains of an earlier temple after demolishing it. He said the survey report found ample evidence of the existence of a temple on which the mosque was built.
A total of 11 people, including both Hindu and Muslim parties, had applied to the court to obtain the ASI survey report on the Gyanvapi Masjid complex adjacent to the famous Kashi Vishwanath temple in Varanasi.
