In the ongoing Gyanvapi mosque-Kashi Vishwanath temple civil dispute, four of the five Hindu plaintiffs on Thursday continued arguments opposing the Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee’s application challenging the maintainability of their suit.
During the hearing before Varanasi District Judge AK Vishvesha, the legal team led by advocate Hari Shankar Jain and his son advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain, submitted that the religious character of the disputed location did not change when Hindu deities were allegedly demolished and a mosque was built.
After the hearing on Thursday, Vishnu Shankar Jain said, “We cited the relevant judgments and argued at length about the relevance of the Hindu Shastric Law and how it is applicable under the Indian Evidence Act. We will continue our arguments on Friday.”
