Gyanvapi Mosque: The Allahabad High Court(HC) on Friday declined an interim stay on the Varanasi court order verdict allowing Hindu devotees to hold prayers inside the disputed ‘Vyas Ka Tekhana’ area of the Gyanvapi mosque. The Allahabad High Court granted time until February 6 for the Masjid Intezamia Committee of Gyanvapi mosque to amend its pleadings to include a challenge to a January 17 order consequent to which the January 31 order was passed. While speaking to the news agency ANI, BJP MP Harnath Yadav said, “Every bit of the Opposition parties’ character and blood is anti-Hindu.”

The next hearing will now be conducted on February 6, 2024. The bench of Justice Rohit Ranjan Aggarwal said that the mosque side should first challenge the order of January 17, 2024. By this order, District Magistrate Varanasi has been appointed as the receiver, and after that, the DM took possession of the Gyanvapi premises on January 23, 2024.
After this, the District Court, by an interim order dated January 31, has given permission to Kashi Vishwanath Temple Trust to perform puja in the basement through a priest. The court had asked the Masjid Intezamia Committee lawyer SFA Naqvi why the basic order of January 17, 2024 was not challenged? The committee’s lawyer said, “That due to the order of January 31, he had to come immediately. Will also challenge it (the basic order). Because as soon as the order was given, the district magistrate made preparations at night and started the puja within nine hours.”
