The Hindu plaintiffs in the Shringar Gauri case in Varanasi have pleaded before a local court that Ajay Kumar Mishra, who was sacked as the advocate commissioner in the Gyanvapi mosque video inspection, be ordered to cooperate in completing the commission report by submitting the photography and videography conducted under him in the initial stages of the survey.
Civil Judge Senior Division Ravi Kumar Diwakar on Tuesday removed Mr. Mishra, the original advocate commissioner, from his post in the video inspection commission of the Gyanvapi mosque for leaking information to media through a private cameraman. The court also instructed special advocate commissioner Vishal Singh, on whose complaint Mr. Mishra was removed, to lead the commission report and submit it on May 19.
Mr. Mishra had supervised the inspection work on May 6 and May 7 before the proceedings were halted after objections from the caretakers of the Gyanvapi mosque, who did not want videography to be conducted inside the mosque premises. The Anjuman Intezamia Masajid accused Mr. Mishra of being “biased” and sought his removal.
