Varanasi court says Hindu side's plea for worship in Gyanvapi mosque maintainable

The district court in Varanasi pronounced on September 12 that the plea of five Hindu women seeking permission for daily worship of Hindu deities is maintainable in the Gyanvapi mosque-Shringar Gauri case.

The Varanasi court dismissed Order VII, Rule 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC) application filed by the Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee challenging the maintainability of the suit filed by the five Hindu women seeking the right to pray inside the Gyanvapi mosque premises all-year round. It held that the suit is maintainable and worth being tried.
