Gyanvapi Shivling case: Court defers decision, fixes Nov 17 as next date

| @indiablooms | Nov 15, 2022, at 12:15 am

Varanasi: A local court here on Monday deferred its decision on a plea seeking permission for daily worship of the Shivling-like structure found in the wazookhana (place of sacred ablution performed before prayer, a place for ablution, washing face, hands and leg before the Islamic prayers) inside the Gyanvapi mosque complex.

Anupam Dwivedi, the counsel of the plaintiff, said that the court of Civil Judge (Senior Division) Dr Mahendra Prasad Singh has now fixed November 17 as the next date of hearing.

It may be noted that in the plea Adi Visheshwara Virajman versus State of Uttar Pradesh and others, the plaintiff Kiran Singh has sought permission for daily worship of the Shivling-like structure.

Besides, it has also sought instructions that the place should be handed over to the Hindus.
