ASI Submits Gyanvapi Survey Report in Court After 7 Extensions

The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has submitted its report on the scientific survey of the Gyanvapi mosque complex in Varanasi, after seven extensions. The report was filed in two sealed envelopes before the district judge, who scheduled the next hearing for December 21. One envelope contained the report, while the other had a list of articles found in debris at the mosque compound. The mosque management committee requested that the report be filed in a sealed envelope to ensure confidentiality, while the plaintiffs' lawyer opposed this request and demanded a copy of the report.

Supreme Court Halts Gyanvapi Mosque Case Survey Pending Further Review

The Supreme Court has ordered a pause in the Archaeological Survey of India's (ASI) scientific survey/excavation at the Gyanvapi mosque site in Varanasi until Wednesday, allowing the Muslim side to appeal against the district court's order. The court directed the petitioner to move the Allahabad High Court and ensured that the appeal is heard before the expiry of the Supreme Court's status quo order. The ASI declined to commit to stopping work on its own, leading to the court's restraint order. The ASI assured that no excavation work would be carried out for at least a week, with only measurement, photography, and radar imaging being undertaken.

Supreme Court to Hear Gyanvapi Plea on Survey Today

The Supreme Court will hear a contempt petition filed by the Gyanvapi mosque management committee against the Varanasi district court's order for an Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) survey of the mosque complex. The order excluded the ablution pond area, which has been sealed on the apex court's order. The mosque committee filed a special leave petition (SLP) in the Supreme Court, citing a stay on the survey by the Allahabad High Court. The SLP argues that the district court's order is contemptuous of the Supreme Court's stay order. The ASI has been given until August 4 to file its report.

"ASI Surveys Gyanvapi and Qutub Mosques, Court Hearings Underway"

The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has begun a survey of Varanasi's Gyanvapi mosque, as ordered by a local court, to determine if it was built over a Hindu temple. The survey will exclude the sealed "wuzukhana" area where a structure claimed to be a relic of Lord Shiva was discovered. The ASI has until August 4 to submit its report to the district court. The mosque is located in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's constituency and is part of a long-standing Hindu-Muslim dispute over the alleged destruction of Hindu temples.
