A Varanasi <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/supreme-court-articles" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">court</a> on Friday granted additional time of eight weeks to the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to complete the scientific survey of the Gyanvapi mosque complex and submit its report.
District Judge A K Vishvesh dismissed the mosque management committee's objection and provided the additional time to the ASI, <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/indian-government-articles" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">government</a> counsel Rajesh Mishra said.
The ASI is carrying out a scientific survey of the Gyanvapi mosque premises, next to Kashi Vishwanath temple here, to determine whether the 17th-century mosque was constructed over a pre-existing structure of a Hindu temple.
The survey began after the Allahabad High Court upheld a Varanasi district court order and ruled that the step is "necessary in the interest of justice" and will benefit both the Hindu and Muslim sides.
