Lucknow: Court orders to conduct survey and submit report on Gyanwapi Masjid. The court directed the ASI ( Archaeological Survey of India) to submit the scientific report by August 4. The order was passed by the District Court of Varanasi. The court has given permission to conduct the survey from 8 am to 12 pm. The court also demanded that the weight check should be conducted without harming the rituals in the mosque.
Four women approached the court demanding that the Archaeological Survey of India conduct a scientific survey of the Gyanvapi complex, except for the disputed Vaju Khana. The demand was to conduct scientific tests including carbon dating on the suspected form of Shiv Linga found during the earlier video survey at Gyanwapi Masjid.
They argued in the court that the mosque has a Shivalinga and should be given an opportunity to worship.
