Gyanvapi Case: Varanasi's Gyanvapi mosque has four 'tehkhanas' (basements) in the storm cellar, and one of them is still with the Vyas family.
New Delhi: The Allahabad High Court today excused a request moving the Varanasi region court’s choice to permit Hindu petitions in a basement of the Gyanvapi mosque
The Varanasi region court had on January 31 decided that a minister can offer petitions in the southern basement of the Gyanvapi mosque.
The request was followed through on the appeal of Shailendra Kumar Pathak, who said his maternal granddad Somnath Vyas offered petitions to God till December 1993.
Mr Pathak had mentioned that, as a genetic pujari, he be permitted to enter the tahkhana and continue pooja.
The mosque has four ‘tehkhanas’ (basements) in the cellar, and one of them is still with the Vyas family.
The Varanasi district court request came after an Archeological Overview of India (ASI) report on the mosque complex was unveiled.
The ASI review, requested by a similar court, regarding a connected case, proposed that the mosque was developed during Aurangzeb’s standard over the remaining parts of a Hindu sanctuary.
The mosque board of trustees discredited the solicitor’s adaptation. The council said no icons existed in the basement, so no inquiry of petitions to heaven was being presented there till 1993.
The board of trustees went to the high court on February 2 not long after the High Court declining to hear its supplication against the Varanasi district court request and requesting that it approach the high court.
The Allahabad High Court had saved its structure subsequent to hearing the two players on February 15.
