Gyanvapi

Advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain clarified that the plea for additional survey at Gyanvapi, which was rejected by court, was not filed by a different party

The Court of Civil Judge (Senior Division) Fast Track Court, Varanasi on Friday dismissed the Hindu side's plea for an additional survey by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) at the Gyanvapi complex.

"Unfortunately, people refer to Gyanvapi as a mosque, but it is in fact, Vishwanath," UP CM Yogi Adityanath said at an event in Gorakhpur.

The development comes three weeks after an FIR was filed against an accused named Adnan Khan for allegedly threatening additional sessions judge Diwakar.  

In a letter to the SSP, the judge stated last week that he has been receiving malicious calls from international numbers, "which is deeply concerning."

Netizens also responded in support of Vikram Sampath

Allahabad High Court deemed then-CM Mulayam Singh Yadav's order to stop Hindu worship at disputed site of Gyanvapi illegal.

The Allahabad HC verdict dismissing the Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee's plea was delivered by the single judge bench of Justice Rohit Ranjan Agarwal. Justice Agarwal had reserved his order on February 15.

The Dewan of Ajmer Sharif Dargah reasoned that if the court gives any judgement, one side will lose and this would lead to bitterness between both the sides.

The district court of Varanasi's decision to allow Hindus to pray in the Vyas cellar of the Gyanvapi structure has ruffled the feathers of Mamata Banerjee's minister Siddiqullah Chowdhury who has issued brazen threat to UP CM Yogi Adityanath
