Gyanvapi Scientific Survey: The Archaeological Survey of India has asked for a 15-day extension to file its report on the survey of the contentious Gyanvapi mosque complex.
A court today agreed to hear the case of five Hindu women who want to pray at a shrine inside the Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi, next to the famous Kashi Viswanath temple. Their petition will be heard on September 22.
The case involving claims of Hindu idols at Varanasi's Gyanvapi mosque will be heard by a higher court in Uttar Pradesh. It would be "better if a more seasoned hand hears the case", the Supreme Court said while giving the ruling.
