Varanasi / Only the district judge will hear the whole matter on Gyanvapi the order of the Supreme Court

The Supreme Court sat for the third time on Friday on the Gyanvapi Masjid case. The bench of Justice DY Chandrachud, Justice Surya Kant and Justice PS Narasimha, in the 51-minute hearing, clearly said that the matter is with us but first it should be heard in the Varanasi District Court. The court directed to keep the interim order in force (for hearing on May 17) for 8 weeks.

Let us tell you that on May 17, the Supreme Court had said three big things in its order. First- The place claiming to be Shivling should be secured. Second- Muslims should not be stopped from offering Namaz. Third - The order of offering Namaz to only 20 people is no longer applicable. That is, these three instructions will be applicable for the next 8 weeks. There will be no change on this. After saying this, the court handed over the further hearing in the case to the Varanasi District Court.

Hindu side said this thing

In this case, the Hindu side said that all the decisions of the lower court have been implemented. The petition of the Masjid side is meaningless.

Conspiracy to spoil the atmosphere by leaking the report

The arguments of Hindu and Muslim sides in the court...

Senior advocate Vaidyanathan on behalf of the Hindu side and Huzefa Ahmadi, counsel for the Masjid Committee, presented the arguments in the court. Read what both the lawyers said...

1. On the report of the commission

The Hindu side said that the report of the commission has come. Let's see him first. Only then should the decision be considered. In response, the Muslim side said that whatever instructions have been given regarding the survey, it is illegal. Therefore it should be repealed. The Muslim side said that Gyanvapi was not disputed at the time of 15 August 1947. As such, no decision should be given on this.

2. On the decision of the Lower Court

The Muslim side also called the lower court's decision illegal. On the other hand, the Hindu side said that first see the report. The Muslim side accused the survey report of leaking. He said that a narrative is being prepared in the country. This will increase communal tension. Don't consider it just a case, it will make a big impact in the country.

3. On Namaz in the Masjid

The Muslim side said that there is a problem in offering Namaz inside the mosque. The inside area has been sealed. Attention should also be paid to this. The Muslim side said that we want to give an example of the verdict that came before you in the Ayodhya case.

Varanasi Lower Court had directed the survey

The Varanasi Court had ordered the survey on April 16 on the petitions of Rakhi Singh, a resident of Delhi and Laxmi Devi, Sita Sahu, Manju Vyas and Rekha Pathak, residents of Banaras. The court had also appointed a court commissioner for this survey.

On 18 August 2021, the four women filed a petition stating that the Gyanvapi complex has a place for Hindu deities. In such a situation, regular darshan-worship of Maa Shringar Gauri should be allowed in the Gyanvapi campus.
