District Judge Dr. AK Vishvesha posted the matter for October 11, 2022 when he is likely to pronounce order after hearing the Mosque Committee, which had sought time to respond to the following two clarifications raised by the Court:
– Whether the Shiva Linga (reported to be found) inside the Gyanvapi Mosque premises is a part of suit property or not?
– Does the court have power to direct ‘scientific investigation’ of the alleged structure?
For the Hindu Worshippers (plaintiffs), advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain told the Court on Friday that the Shivalinga (reported to be found) is a part of the suit property.
To the second query of the Court, Jain said that by virtue of Order 26 Rule 10A of the Civil Procedure Code 1908, the Court has power to direct ‘scientific investigation’ of Shivalinga reportedly found in the Gyanvapi Mosque premises during the survey.
On these clarifications, the Court will hear the Mosque Committee on October 11.
