Chief Justice of India N.V. Ramana on Friday said he would examine and consider listing a plea to stop the inspection, survey and videography of premises inside the Gyanvyapi mosque in Varanasi by an advocate commissioner on the orders of a local court.
Senior advocate Huzefa Ahmadi, appearing for Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee, the caretakers of the mosque, requested the court, in an oral mentioning, for urgent listing of their case seeking an order of status quo.
Mr. Ahmadi said the survey was ordered despite the mosque being protected under the Places of Worship Act.
