The Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee, which manages Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi, has moved the Allahabad High Court challenging the Varanasi district court’s order which allowed Hindus to perform prayers in the southern cellar of the mosque.
The Muslim side has also filed a plea in district court seeking a stay for 15 days on puja inside the basement.
The Hindu side has also filed a caveat, seeking that it should be heard before the court passes any order.
The matter was mentioned before Acting Chief Justice Manoj Kumar Gupta by senior advocate S.F.A. Naqvi and he was asked to move an urgent listing plea before the Registrar Listing.
Accordingly, an application has been moved before the Registrar, Listing and the matter is likely to be taken up soon.
