The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear on April 1 a Gyanvapi mosque management committee’s plea against an Allahabad High Court decision upholding a lower court’s order allowing Hindu prayers in the southern cellar of the mosque.
A bench of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud along and Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra will hear the petition filed by Anjuman Intezamia Masajid Committee, challenging the HC’s February 26 decision. The committee manages the affairs of the Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi.
The committee had contested the district court’s January 31 ruling permitting Hindus to offer prayers in the cellar. However, the high court had rejected the committee’s argument.
