Gyanvapi Case Verdict: Court Rejects All Petitions
In a crucial judgment in the Gyanvapi case, the Allahabad High Court today rejected all petitions by the mosque committee challenging civil suits that seek restoration of a temple at the mosque site. The high court asked the Varanasi court to complete hearing in one of these civil suits, filed in 1991, within six months. Justice Rohit Ranjan Agarwal has ruled that the 1991 suit is maintainable…

[ad_1] File photo of the Gyanvapi Mosque (Photo: PTI)2 min read Last Updated : Oct 10 2024 | 6:22 PM IST Lawyers representing the Hindu side on Thursday furnished their submissions before a court here in response to the arguments put forth by the Muslim side in the Gyanvapi case two days ago. The Hindu side's plea had demanded a survey by the Archeological Survey of India (ASI) in the remaining parts of the Gyanvapi complex. Click here to connect with us on WhatsApp Following the submissions, the court posted the hearing on October 16. Advocate Madan Mohan Yadav, who is representing the Hindu side, said he appeared before Civil Judge Senior Division Yughul Shambhu, and submitted that the survey done by the ASI in the Gyanvapi complex was incomplete.  Yadav said the ASI was not in a position to furnish a correct report without excavation and therefore it should be ordered to conduct the excavation and survey the entire Gyanvapi complex. On October 8, the Muslim side -- Anjuman Intezamia Committee -- had presented its views on the petition. The lawyers then reportedly submitted before the court that when the Hindu side has appealed to agitate the case in the high court and Supreme Court, there was no point arguing the matter in the trial court. They also submitted that when the ASI survey of the Gyanvapi complex had been done once already, there was no justification for conducting another survey. The lawyers of the committee had also stated that digging a pit in the mosque premises for the survey was not practical in any way, and could damage the mosque. Previously, the Hindu side had argued that the original place of 'Jyotirlinga' was in the centre, under the dome of the purported mosque located in the Gyanvapi complex. "Geographical water used to flow continuously from the 'Argha' which used to collect in the Gyanvapi Kund. It was believed that drinking this water gives knowledge. Therefore, this pilgrimage is also considered as 'Gyanoday Tirth'," it was argued earlier during hearings. The Hindu party has demanded the examination of the water through water engineering, geologists and archeologists. Further, the 'Shivling' found from the Gyanoday Tirth, which the Muslim side termed as the "wazukhana", should also be examined to ascertain whether it is a 'Shivling' or a fountain, they had said.

Gyanvapi Mosque Committee Challenges Varanasi Court's ASI Survey Order
This article on 'Gyanvapi Mosque Committee Challenges Varanasi Court's ASI Survey Order' was written by Anukriti Prakash, an intern at Legal Upanishad.
INTRODUCTION
The Gyanvapi Mosque-Kashi Vishwanath Temple dispute is one of India's longest-running religious conflicts. The issue is focused on who owns the land on which the Gyanvapi Mosque exists, with Hindu parties saying that the mosque was constructed on the site of an old Kashi Vishwanath Temple that Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb demolished. The controversy has been the subject of multiple legal disputes, and a recent Varanasi court ruling for an ASI assessment of the site has re-ignited the debate. The Gyanvapi mosque committee has now filed an appeal with the Allahabad High Court, claiming that the survey will breach the mosque's status as a protected monument. The dispute revived an argument in India about religious tolerance and the preservation of cultural heritage. This article is an attempt to analyse the facts, issues and the recent happening in this dispute.
BRIEF FACTS
The Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee, which is responsible for managing 22 mosques including the Gyanvapi Masjid in Varanasi, has submitted a petition to the Allahabad High Court. The petition challenges the District Court's verdict of July 21, which ordered an ASI survey of the Mosque Premises (except for Wuzukhana). The Supreme Court ordered that the Varanasi Court's ruling should not be implemented until 5 p.m. on July 26 in order to give the Masjid committee some "breathing time" to seek the High Court. The plea was submitted the next day. A bench consisting of Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud, Justice J.B. Pardiwala, and Justice Manoj Misra issued the Supreme Court's ruling on July 24. Before its temporary injunction expires on July 26, the ruling asked the High Court Chief Justice to permit a hearing on Masjid's plea. The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) notified the three-judge bench during the hearing that it does not plan to conduct any excavations at the Gyanvapi site for at least a week. In contrast, the Varanasi District Court authorized excavation to determine if the 16th-century mosque was constructed on an earlier temple.
CONTENTIONS OF BOTH THE PARTIES
The Hindu groups contend that the old Kashi Vishwanath Temple, which Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb demolished, was located where the Gyanvapi Mosque is now located. They contend that the mosque ought to be taken down and the temple restored. To support this assertion, they have referred to several kinds of historical and archaeological sources and documents. On the other hand, the mosque committee argues that the mosque is a protected monument under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1958. They argue that the ASI survey would violate the mosque's status as a protected monument and that the survey could damage the mosque's structure. The Varanasi court ordered the ASI survey of the site to determine the truth behind the claims made by the Hindu groups. The mosque committee has challenged this order in the Allahabad High Court, arguing that the survey would violate the mosque's status as a protected monument. The case is still ongoing, and it remains to be seen what the final decision will be.
RECENT EVENTS OF THE GYANVAPI MOSQUE CASE
The Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee, which is responsible for managing the Gyanvapi Mosque in Varanasi, moved to the Allahabad High Court to challenge a District Court's verdict that ordered an ASI survey of the mosque premises (except for Wuzukhana). The committee's contention that the District Court's ruling was made without taking into account the mosque's status as a protected monument under the 1958 Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act forms the basis of its petition. The committee has further argued that the District Court lacked the authority to issue such an order. Additionally, the Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee has claimed that the District Court's ruling infringes on their basic right of religion to practice and promote their belief under Article 25 of the Constitution. The committee claims that the ASI survey would violate their right to free exercise of religion and harm the mosque beyond restoration. The committee has also argued that the District Court's order is based on a misinterpretation of the Archaeological Survey of India Act, 1958, and that the District Court had no power to order an ASI survey of the mosque. The Allahabad High Court is currently hearing the case, and the next hearing is scheduled for July 27.
CONCLUSION
The Gyanvapi Mosque dispute has been ongoing for several years. The recent developments in the case have led to a lot of controversy and unrest. The Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee's plea in the Allahabad High Court challenges the Varanasi Court's order for an ASI survey of the mosque premises. The committee claims that the poll would violate their right to free exercise of religion and harm the mosque beyond repair. The Allahabad High Court is now hearing the matter, and the next hearing has been scheduled for July 27. The outcome of this case will have far-reaching implications for the country.

Krishna Janmabhoomi case: Mathura court orders Gyanvapi Masjid-like survey of Shahi Idgah mosque | India News
Mathura (Uttar Pradesh): Mathura local court on Saturday passed an order in the Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Idgah case to survey the disputed site. The Court of Senior Division, while hearing the petition of Hindu Sena, issued an order to survey the disputed site.
