Varanasi court denies additional archaeological survey of Gyanvapi Mosque due to prior surveys and Supreme Court directives.
A Varanasi court has denied a plea from Hindu petitioners for an additional archaeological survey of the Gyanvapi Mosque complex, citing previous surveys and Supreme Court directives against excavation. The petitioners, who claim the mosque was built over a temple, argue that prior assessments were incomplete. They plan to appeal the decision in a higher court. The ongoing legal dispute dates back to 1991, concerning the mosque's historical significance.
