The Supreme Court agreed to set up a bench on Friday to hear the Gyanvapi Kashi Vishwanath case in which the Hindu side has sought extension of an order by which protection of an area where a “Shivling” was found in Gyanvapi premises was ordered.
A bench headed by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud on Thursday took note of the submissions of advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain, appearing for some Hindu devotees, and said the order granting protection was expiring on November 12.
“We will constitute a bench at 3 pm tomorrow,” the CJI said.
The top court, on May 17, had passed an interim order directing protection of the area inside Gyanvapi premises at Varanasi.
Earlier, A fast-track court in Varanasi had adjourned the matter for November 14 on the plea seeking worship of the `Shivling` that the Hindu side claimed to be found on the Gyanvapi mosque premises.
