Prayagraj, 04 July: The Allahabad High Court has fixed August 6 as the date for hearing on the petition filed in the Gyanvapi complex in Varanasi demanding a survey of the wazukhana apart from the Shivlinga figure by the ASI.
This order has been given by Justice Rohit Ranjan Agarwal due to the pending hearing in the Supreme Court on the petition filed regarding the Places of Worship Act.
On Friday, Rakhi Singh’s advocate Saurabh Tiwari told the court that the pending hearing in the Supreme Court regarding the validity of the Places of Worship Act has not been completed. The interim order is in effect, which has banned any kind of survey order. On this, the High Court postponed the hearing.
It is noteworthy that the High Court had sought a reply from the opposing party Anjuman Intezamia Masjid and Sunni Central Waqf Board in the petition demanding additional scientific survey in the 1991 self-proclaimed Lord Adi Visheshwar case linked with the civil revision petition of Rakhi Singh, a party in the Shringar Gauri case.
The Supreme Court has, through an interim order, stopped the courts from making any effective interim or final order, including the order for survey.
