A district court here will decide Tuesday whether to hear first the Hindu petitioners’ plea to invite objections to the Gyanvapi mosque survey report or the Muslim side’s case that the writ is not maintainable.
A fresh plea seeking permission to worship the “Shivling” claimed to have been found on the Gyanvapi mosque premises during a video survey ordered by a lower court was also filed. They have also sought removal of debris in the passage leading to the room under ‘Shivling’.
