SC defers scientific survey to determine age of 'Shivling' found at Gyanvapi mosque

The Hindu  

The Supreme Court on May 19 deferred the implementation of a direction given by the Allahabad High Court on May 12 to conduct carbon dating and scientific survey of the “shivling” allegedly found in the Gyanvapi mosque premises in Varanasi. A three-judge Bench headed by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud said the “implications of the May 12 order would require closer scrutiny”. The Bench passed the order on a petition filed by the Anjuman Intazamia Masjid Varanasi, the mosque’s caretakers, represented by senior advocate Huzefa Ahmadi, against the High Court order. The law officer agreed with the court’s suggestion, highlighting the implications that may follow if the carbon dating and scientific survey happened to inadvertently “damage” the structure in question.
