Gyanvapi dispute | Varanasi court reserves verdict on maintainability of suit by Hindu plaintiffs

A Varanasi district court on Wednesday reserved its order on the maintainability of a civil suit filed by the Hindu plaintiffs in the Gyanvapi mosque-Kashi Vishwanath temple dispute as the Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee concluded its arguments in rebuttal to the points raised by the plaintiffs. 

District judge A.K. Vishvesha posted the matter for next hearing on September 12, when the court is expected to pronounce its order on whether the suit seeking the right to pray inside the Gyanvapi mosque premises is at all maintainable, said advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain, part of the legal team arguing for the Hindu plaintiffs.

The masjid panel had challenged the maintainability of the suit soon after it was filed.
