Acourt commissioner’s team visited the Gyanvapi-Shringar Gauri temple complex in Varanasi and stayed there for over two hours but failed to conduct a videographic-survey of the mosque due to a protest by Muslims. The Muslims protested against the survey even as the mosque management committee moved a Varanasi district court seeking the appointment of a different court commissioner, other than the present one, Ajay Kumar Mishra. A local court said the hearing on this matter will be held on May 9.
The issue dates back to 1991 when a slew of petitions arrived before the Varanasi court, with local priests seeking permission to worship in the Gyanvapi Masjid area. The petitioners claimed that the Gyanvapi Masjid was built on orders of Mughal king Aurangzeb in the 17th century by removing a portion of the Kashi Vishwanath Mandir.
