Gyanvapi mosque LIVE updates: A day after getting clearance from the Allahabad High Court for conducting the survey of Gyanvapi mosque, a team of officials from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) on Friday arrived at the complex. The ASI officials will begin the scientific survey of the Gyanvapi mosque complex, adjacent to Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Uttar Pradesh’s Varanasi today.
Yesterday, the high court dismissed Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee’s plea, challenging the ASI survey of the mosque.
The Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee had challenged the Varanasi District Judge’s July 21 order.
On July 21, Varanasi district judge AK Vishvesha ordered the ASI survey of the Gyanvapi complex on an application moved by four Hindu women on May 16, 2023.
The order of the district judge, however, excluded the Wuzu Khana (ablution pond area) of the complex, which has been sealed on the order of the Supreme Court of India.
Hindu activists claim that a temple existed earlier at the mosque’s site, and was demolished in the 17th century on the order of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb.
