SC’s order comes a day after Varanasi civil court directed district administration to seal off the area where a Shivling was reportedly discovered in Gyanvapi mosque complex.
The court also gave two days' time to the commission to submit the videography survey report of the Gyanvapi Masjid complex. Two other commissioners will continue in their position.
According to petitioners, ‘Maa Shringar Gauri Sthal’ is on the outer wall of the mosque. However, the priest, citing 2 books on Varanasi’s history, claims idols located elsewhere.
Fresh bone of contention is a court-ordered survey of ‘Maa Shringar Gauri Sthal and other areas’ within Gyanvapi mosque complex. Survey team has been stalled twice.
Survey restricted to outer walls. Mosque counsel tells court his clients have ‘doubts’ over ‘fairness’ of advocate commissioner appointed to lead team for survey at disputed site.
