Varanasi Court Seals Spot In Gyanvapi Mosque Premises Where Shiva Linga Is Stated To Be Found
Live LawIn a significant development, a Varanasi Court was told today that the court-appointed Advocate Commissioner has found Shiva Linga inside the Gyanvapi Mosque premises during the survey. The Court has also directed District Magistrate, Police Commissioner, and CRPF Commandment, Varanasi, to ensure the protection of the sealed place where Shivling has reportedly been found in the survey of the Gyanvapi mosque. "An attempt to disturb the communal peace and harmony and in contravention to the Places of Worship Act" the Anjuman Intezamia Masajid Management Committee has argued before the Supreme Court while challenging the survey ordered by a Varanasi court in Gyanvapi Mosque premises on a plea by a few Hindu devotees. The present special leave petition has been filed challenging the recent order of the Allahabad High Court refusing to interfere in Varanasi Court's order directing the survey work to continue in the Gyanvapi mosque-Kashivishvanath temple premises.
