Anjuman Intejamia Masjid Committee’s petition dismissed
Earlier, the Allahabad High Court today dismissed the petition of the Anjuman Intejamia Masjid Committee against the survey of the Gyanvapi Masjid complex. The Anjuman Intejamia Committee challenged the order of the district court of Varanasi on July 21 in the High Court. The High Court, while passing the order for the ASI survey, observed that there was no reason to disbelieve the ASI’s assurance that the structure would not be damaged, but added that no excavation should be carried out for the survey.
District court’s order for ASI survey is appropriate – High Court
The High Court observed that the order of the District Court regarding survey of the disputed premises is proper and no interference by this Court is warranted. After the decision of the High Court, Vishnu Shankar Jain, a lawyer for the Hindu side, told reporters that the High Court has rejected the petition of the Muslim side. The High Court has said that with this decision of the District Court, the order of survey has become effective immediately. Describing it as a “very important decision”, Jain said that the Anjuman Intejamia had argued that the ASI survey would affect the structure, but the court had rejected all those arguments.
