The ASI has to submit the report to the district court by August 4.<\/p>\n<p>The inspection is being carried out following an order by the Varanasi district court on Friday. The order was passed based on a plea by four women worshippers who claim the Gyanvapi mosque was built after razing an ancient Hindu temple and that a scientific study is needed to bring out the full facts.<\/p>\n<p>While passing the order, the court held that the scientific investigation is &#8220;necessary&#8221; for the &#8220;true facts&#8221; to come out.<\/p>\n<p>The same petitioners had filed the 2021 petition in the Gyanvapi matter, asking for year-long access to the m &#8220;Shringar Gauri&#8221; shrine inside the mosque.<\/p>\n<p>Subhash Nandan Chaturvedi, who also represents Hindu side in the Gyanvapi case, claimed the court&#8217;s decision is a turning point in the case. &#8220;Our application for the ASI survey has been accepted. It is a turning point in the case,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>In May this year, the Supreme Court had deferred the &#8220;scientific survey&#8221;, including carbon dating, of the &#8220;Shivling&#8221; that was said to have been found at the Gyanvapi mosque complex during a videographic survey conducted last year.<\/p>\n<p>The top court&#8217;s order had come days after Allahabad High Court directed the ASI to conduct a scientific survey of the structure that Hindu petitioners claimed is a &#8220;Shivling&#8221;. The Gyanvapi mosque authorities had said the structure is a part of a fountain in the &#8220;wazukhana&#8221;, where people perform ablutions before offering namaz.<\/p>\n<p>In September last year, the Varanasi district judge had dismissed a challenge by the mosque committee that argued that the case by the women has no legal standing.<\/p>\n<p>Located in Prime Minister Narendra Modi&#8217;s constituency, the Gyanvapi mosque is one of the several mosques the right wing believes were built on the ruins of Hindu temples.<\/p>\n<p>It was one of the three temple-mosque rows, besides Ayodhya and Mathura, which the BJP raised in the 1980s and 1990s.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/india-news\/varanasis-gyanvapi-mosque-survey-begins-asi-to-submit-report-by-august-4-4235098\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] The ASI has to submit the report to the district court by August 4.
