Mosque committee raised questions on approval of the case
The arrangement committee of the mosque has raised questions on the maintainability of the civil suit filed by the Hindu side in the Varanasi court. According to the committee, Varanasi court does not have the right to hear civil suits. Citing the Worship Act 1991, the committee has raised questions on the maintainability of the civil suit filed in the Varanasi court. Along with this, the High Court will also give its verdict on two petitions filed by Varanasi Court against the order to conduct ASI survey of Gyanvapi complex.
The decision was reserved on 8 December
The High Court has to decide whether the Varanasi Trial Court can hear the civil suit case or not. In this case, after the completion of the hearing on December 8, the bench of Justice Rohit Ranjan Aggarwal had reserved the decision. The decision will come today on December 19 at around 10 am. In the civil suit filed by the Hindu side, a demand has been made to hand over the disputed premises of Gyanvapi to Hindus and permission for worship.
Aurangzeb had demolished the temple and built a mosque.
According to the Hindu side, Mughal emperor Aurangzeb had constructed the mosque by demolishing the Kashi Visheshwar Nath temple. The Hindu side also says that the remains of the temple still exist in the disputed premises. The lawyers of the Mosque Committee argue that according to the 1991 Act, the nature of any religious place after August 15, 1947 cannot be changed. Now everyone’s eyes are on the court’s decision in this matter.
