Post Title: Victory for Hindus in Gyanvapi Dispute: Court Allows Worship in Sealed Basement
In a significant development, a Varanasi court has granted permission for Hindu devotees to offer prayers inside the sealed basement, known as 'Vyas Ka Tekhana,' within the Gyanvapi mosque complex. This verdict comes as a victory for the Hindu side in the ongoing Gyanvapi dispute case.
Key Points:
- The court's decision follows a plea filed by Shailendra Kumar Pathak Vyas, the head priest of Acharya Ved Vyas Peeth temple, seeking permission to worship Shringar Gauri and other deities, both visible and invisible, in the cellar of the Gyanvapi mosque.
- The appointment of a receiver was previously allowed on Vyas's plea, leading to the district magistrate taking custody of the southern cellar of the mosque on January 23.
- The court has directed the district administration to make necessary arrangements, including the removal of barricades, within seven days to facilitate the entry of the priest for prayers.
- The order emphasizes that the prayers should be conducted by priests from the Kashi Vishwanath Temple.
- The next hearing in this case is scheduled for February 8, providing time for defendants, including the Anjuman Intejamia Masajid (Gyanvapi mosque management committee), to file their objections.
This ruling marks a significant development in the long-standing Gyanvapi dispute, and the court's decision to allow worship in the sealed basement reflects the complex and sensitive nature of religious disputes in India.
