GG News Bureau
Varanasi, 23rd May. The Varanasi district court today completed the hearing of arguments in the Kashi Vishwanath temple-Gyanvapi mosque case and reserved its decision until tomorrow.
Varanasi District Judge Dr AK Vishvesha heard a civil suit in the Kashi Vishwanath temple-Gyanvapi mosque case.
“The hearing was completed and the decision has been kept reserved. The next date of hearing will be given. We had given an application to provide us with a CD and photographs of the report submitted by the commission,” Advocate Vishnu Jain, representing the Hindu side, told reporters.
Only 23 people, including 19 counsels and four petitioners, were allowed inside the courtroom during the hearing today, Varanasi police said.
The hearing started on Monday in Varanasi district court after the Supreme Court said that it would not interfere with the Gyanvapi mosque videography survey and shifted the case to the Varanasi court while noting the “complexities and sensitivities involved in the matter” would require a “more senior and experienced hand”.
The bench said that the District Judge should determine the maintainability of the civil suit in the Gyanvapi-Kashi Vishwanath on priority as sought by the Committee of Management Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Varanasi.
Earlier today, a lawyer filed an intervention application in the Supreme Court seeking impleadment in the Gyanvapi mosque case saying that a mosque constructed on temple land cannot be a mosque.
