Chief Justice of India N.V. Ramana on Monday agreed to list on July 21 a petition seeking darshan and pooja of the shivling reportedly found on the Gyanvapi mosque premises during a survey.
In an oral mentioning, advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain urged the CJI to list the plea along with another petition filed by the caretakers of the Gyanvapi mosque, Anjuman Intejamia Masjid, which has challenged a lower court order to conduct a survey of the premises.
“This is a petition to allow darshan and pooja of the ‘shivling’ which has been found in the complex and also to direct the Archaeological Survey of India to do carbon dating. The petition filed by masjid committee challenging the commission survey is coming up on July 21. Please list this petition along with that,” Mr. Jain submitted.
