SC Refuses to Stay Hindu Prayers in Gyanvapi Masjid

Deccan Chronicle  

New Delhi: A three-judge bench of the Supreme Court headed by Chief Justice of India D.Y. The top court was hearing a fresh plea of the Gyanvapi mosque management committee against an Allahabad High Court decision upholding a lower court’s order allowing Hindu prayers in the southern cellar of the mosque. On February 26, the High Court dismissed the mosque committee's plea in which it had challenged the district court's January 31 order allowing Hindus to offer prayers in the cellar. While dismissing the plea of the mosque committee, the high court had observed that the Uttar Pradesh government's 1993 decision to stop worship rituals inside the “Vyas Tehkhana” — located at the southern cellar of the Gyanvapi — was “illegal”. On January 31, the district court ruled that a Hindu priest could perform prayers before the idols in the southern cellar of the mosque.
