The Varanasi district court directed the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to submit objects found during its survey of the Gyanvapi mosque, which are related to Hinduism or are historically significant, with the District Magistrate (DM).
The order pronounced by District Judge A.K. Vishvesha on Wednesday also directed the DM, or any person nominated by him, to protect the objects submitted by the ASI and present them before the Court when required.
The order was passed by the court while allowing two applications moved by Rakhi Singh, a plaintiff in the Shringar Gauri worshipping suit of 2022, which demands worship rights inside the Gyanvapi mosque. The suit is pending before this court.
