Varanasi district court to hear Gyanvapi case next on Monday

The Hindu  

Four of the five Hindu plaintiffs in the ongoing Gyanvapi mosque-Kashi Vishwanath temple civil dispute on Friday, concluded their submissions before a Varanasi district court, opposing the Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee’s application, challenging the maintainability of their suit. We argued that a temple existed at the disputed site before the mosque and that the setting up of the mosque did not alter the religious character of the site.” The Masjid panel has challenged the suit filed by the plaintiffs on the grounds that it is barred by the Places of Worship Act, 1991 which freezes the religious character of a site as it stood on August 15, 1947. The Hindu plaintiffs have so far argued that the 1991 legislation does not bar their suit, and submitted that their suit was filed to present evidence and prove the religious character of the disputed site as of August 15, 1947. Advocate Shivam Gaur, who is appearing for plaintiff Rakhi Singh, said, “The Masjid panel has said our suit is barred under the 1991 Act, the Kashi Vishwanath Temple Act and the Waqf Act.
