A Varanasi court last month gave its nod to ASI to conduct a survey of the mosque, except the Wazukhana that contains a structure claimed to be a Shivling. The aim of the survey is to determine whether the masjid was built demolishing Kashi Vishwanath temple.

Following this, the Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee had challenged the Varanasi District Judge’s July 21 order. The Allahabad High Court on Thursday dismissed Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee’s plea

Speaking on the issue, UP Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya said, I welcome this verdict. I am confident that the truth will come out after the ASI survey and Gyanvapi issue will be resolved.
