Varanasi court issues notice to masjid panel on plea for carbon-dating of structure

A Varanasi district court on Thursday issued notice to the Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee on an application of Hindu worshippers, who have now sought carbon-dating of the disputed structure known to have been found inside the premises of the Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi. 

District judge A.K. Vishvesha is currently hearing a suit filed by five Hindu women, who are seeking the right to worship inside the premises of the Gyanvapi mosque all-year round. On September 12, the court had rejected an application of the Masjid panel challenging the maintainability of the suit, and held that it is worth being tried.
