Allahabad HC gives Feb 3 as next date of hearing in Gyanvapi mosque dispute case

Prayagraj, Jan 12 (UNI) Allahabad High Court has fixed February 3 as the next date of hearing in the Gyanvapi mosque dispute case in Varanasi. The court heard a petition which seeks a scientific survey by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) of the ablution area (wazukhana) of the Gyanvapi complex, excluding the Shivling.
The civil revision petition has been filed by Rakhi Singh, a party in the Shringar Gauri case. Single bench court of Justice Rohit Ranjan Agarwal was hearing the case and the next hearing date has been fixed for February 3. Rakhi Singh has challenged the Varanasi Civil Court's decision of October 21, 2023, in the Allahabad High Court.
The Varanasi court had refused to grant permission to the ASI to survey the wazukhana area of the Gyanvapi mosque. However, the Supreme Court's interim order prevents courts from passing any effective interim or final orders, including orders for a survey.
