      A Varanasi court has ruled that the petition seeking permission for daily worship of Hindu deities at the Gyanvapi mosque is maintainable and has ordered the hearing on the same to go on.

      Five women had filed the petition seeking permission for daily worship of Hindu deities whose idols are claimed to be located on an outer wall of the Gyanvapi mosque. The Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee had questioned the maintainability of plea and said that the mosque is a Waqf property.

      Madan Mohan Yadav, a lawyer of the Hindu side, had claimed that the mosque was constructed after demolishing the temple.

      The case is being heard by the district court following an apex court order.

      Earlier, a lower court had ordered a videographic survey of the complex. The survey work was completed on May 16 and the report was presented in the court on May 19.

      The Hindu side had claimed in the lower court that a Shivling was found during the videographic survey of the Gyanvapi mosque-Shringar Gauri complex but it was contested by the Muslim side.
