The Varanasi district court, hearing the Gyanvapi mosque dispute, on Tuesday decided that it will hear on priority the plea filed by the Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee, which challenged the maintainability of the suit filed by Hindu plaintiffs under Order 7 Rule 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
District and Sessions Judge, Varanasi, A.K. Vishvesha said he would hear the committee’s plea on May 26 on priority as directed by the Supreme Court. Further, the Varanasi court directed all parties to file their objections to the report of the commission that conducted a video survey of the mosque premises within seven days, as ordered by the court earlier hearing the case.
Mr. Vishvesha on Monday reserved the order on which plea to hear first, after hearing arguments from both sides.
