The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has been granted four more weeks by the Varanasi district court to complete its investigation of the Gyanvapi mosque, returning a report by September 2. The court order follows an earlier instruction on July 21 that demanded the survey be conducted within the month.
The Archaeological Survey of India has resumed the "scientific survey" to ascertain whether the Gyanvapi mosque was built over a pre-existing structure of a Hindu temple. The survey was stalled for a week and resumed with beefed up security on Friday. The Allahabad High Court gave permission for a scientific investigation and survey of the mosque on 25 August, saying that it was "necessary in the interest of justice" and would benefit both sides. The Varanasi court had previously ordered the ASI to survey the mosque on 21 July.
The Allahabad High Court allowed the Archaeological Survey of India to conduct a survey of the Gyanvapi mosque complex in Varanasi rejecting the Muslim side s plea of stopping the survey. ASI team will start conducting the survey shortly as directed by the court.
