Gyanvapi Case: Hearing On Revision Plea Of Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee Adjourned In Allahabad HC

Prayagraj, Oct 17 (TNA) The Allahabad High Court (HC) on Monday adjourned a hearing in the Mosque Committee's revision plea against Varanasi Court order in which it had rejected its application against the maintainability of the suit filed by five Hindu women seeking permission to worship Hindu deities residing inside Gyanvapi.

Lawyer Vishnu Shankar Jain and Prabhash Pandey appeared in court and told TNA that as the court proceedings took place, the Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee informed the court that it is required to file some additional documents and hence needed some more time. The Hindu side's counsel objected to this.

The bench of Justice JJ Munir, however, asked the Varanasi Court to provide certified copies of the case records. He also made an oral observation that the scope of a petition filed under Order 7 Rule 11 is very narrow. The matter will now be next taken up on Wednesday; October 19.
