In a development mirroring the Ram Mandir case, a petition has been filed in the Supreme Court requesting that all cases related to the Gyanvapi issue be heard by a three-judge bench of the Allahabad High Court.
The Supreme Court is expected to hear the petition soon, according to Advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain, who disclosed the information at the Civil Court complex in Varanasi.
Advocate Jain explained that the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) had submitted its survey report to the court on December 25, 2023. However, despite more than nine months passing, no objections have been sought from the Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee regarding the report.
Jain emphasized that repeated requests have been made from their side, urging the court to seek objections from the Masjid Committee on the ASI report.
He added that this is crucial for moving the case forward, as it would determine whether the ASI's report becomes part of the court's records. Additionally, the key issues of the case would be framed accordingly.
The advocate further mentioned that the actual trial concerning the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi case in Mathura is also being conducted at the Allahabad High Court.
Therefore, a similar petition has been filed in the Supreme Court, requesting that Gyanvapi-related cases also be heard by a three-judge bench of the Allahabad High Court, he said.
