The Allahabad High Court has in a major verdict allowed the Archaeological Survey of India to conduct a survey of the Gyanvapi mosque complex in Varanasi.
“Allahabad High Court has said that ASI survey of the 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 told reporters.
The Allahabad High Court 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 order.
I welcome this verdict. I am confident that the truth will come out after the ASI survey and Gyanvapi issue will be resolved, UP Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya was quoted as saying by ANI on Allahabad HC allowing ASI survey of Gyanvapi mosque complex.
