Gyanvapi Survey Report To Be Made Public? Varanasi Court To Decide Today

Varanasi: In what is likely to be a crucial day for the Muslim side, the Varanasi district court is expected to take a call on unveiling the much-anticipated scientific survey report submitted to it by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) on the Gyanvapi mosque. This development follows 92 days of comprehensive survey work conducted by the ASI within the Gyanvapi complex.

In the Gyanvapi Shringar Gauri case, the Hindu side is poised to voice objections in court regarding the application from the Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee. The committee has requested the court not to make the ASI report public. It was presented in a sealed cover by the ASI, a move contested by the Hindu side, deeming it a blatant 'violation' of the Supreme Court judgment.

Hindu side lawyer Subhash Nandan Chaturvedi emphasized that the Supreme Court's explicit order on August 4 prohibited filing the report in a sealed envelope. Today's proceedings will delve into whether the report will be submitted openly or in a sealed envelope.
