Supreme Court Allows Gyanvapi Mosque Survey To Continue With Rider

Gyanvapi mosque: The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has been given four weeks to submit its report to a court in Uttar Pradesh's Varanasi


Gyanvapi mosque survey should be done using a non-invasive method, said the Supreme Court

New Delhi: The Supreme Court ruled today that a "non-invasive method" should be used for the country's top archeological organization to study the Gyanvapi mosque.

The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), which was mandated to conduct the survey on July 21 by a court in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, has been granted four weeks to present its findings.

The districtcourt's survey ruling had been contested by the mosque committee before the Allahabad High Court.The mosque committee attempted to suspend the district court's ruling for the ASI to conduct the survey to ascertain whether the mosque was constructed on top of an earlier temple, but the high court refused their appeal on Thursday.

The Supreme Court ultimately heard the case from the committee today.

The ASI inspection of the Gyanvapi mosque, according to the Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee, would go down in history and "reopen wounds from the past."

"History has given us some valuable lessons. "What happened in December 1992 raises doubt and mistrust at every turn," said Huzefa Ahmadi, the lawyer for the mosque committee. The ASI survey aims to delve into the history of events from 500 years ago. It would reignite old wounds, according to Mr. Ahmadi.

"Let's not get into the past right now," a bench consisting of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra responded.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, speaking on behalf of ASI and the UP government, pledged no excavation work will be done and no structure inside the mosque will be affected after the Supreme Court instructed the ASI to utilize a non-invasive manner in its study.

The ASI started up its scientific inspection of the Gyanvapi site again today. The survey started at 7 am and was interrupted for two hours between 12 and 2 pm to accommodate Friday prayers, according to a news agency reported PTI

To maintain law and order close to the Gyanvapi complex, the district authorities have deployed a sizable security force.
