Gyanvapi mosque video survey report not ready, Commission to seek more time from court

Varanasi, May 17: At a time when everyone is waiting for the Court's hearing on the Gyanvapi Mosque plea after the discovery of Shivling, now the special commission appointed by the court has sought a two-day time to submit the survey report of the Gyanvapi mosque.

 

 

 

The court had earlier asked the commission to submit the report by Tuesday. “A petition has been filed seeking a two-day time to file the Commission report. The matter will be heard on Tuesday,” said Assistant Court Commissioner Ajay Pratap Singh.

 

"However, we are not submitting the report in the court today since it is not prepared. We will seek additional time from the court, and whatever time the court gives, we will submit then," Singh said.

 

"Around 50 percent of the report is ready. This is because we did not get time (to compile a report)," he added. Singh said during the survey underground rooms were surveyed and locks of rooms for which keys were not available broken.

 

 

 

The three-day-long-court-monitored videography survey of the Kashi Vishwanath temple-Gyanvapi Mosque complex in Varanasi concluded on Monday. The survey was conducted in accordance with the Varanasi Civil Court’s order to continue the survey despite objections from the mosque authorities.

 

As the survey was completed, the Hindu petitioner in the case, Sohan Lal Arya on Monday claimed that the committee found a Shivling at the complex. Arya, who accompanied the court commission for the mosque survey, said that they have found "conclusive evidence".The Supreme Court will be hearing the plea seeking a stay on the survey of the Gyanvapi Mosque complex in Varanasi today.
