Varanasi Court Grants Hindus Worship Rights in Gyanvapi Basement

Varanasi: In a significant development in the Gyanvapi case on Wednesday, the District Judge's court, presided over by Judge Ajay Krishna Vishvesh, has granted permission for regular worship in the basement of Vyas ji. The court has directed the District Magistrate to make necessary arrangements within the next 7 days. It is noteworthy that the court had reserved its decision on Tuesday after hearing arguments from both sides.

 

Vishnu Shankar Jain, the lawyer representing the Hindu side, shared that the family of Somnath Vyas ji had been performing worship in the basement until November 1993, when it was closed during Mulayam Singh's government. The court received an appeal on behalf of Hindus, seeking reinstatement of the right to worship, suggesting that Anjuman arrangements could take over. Following careful consideration of the presented arguments, the court has now granted permission for worship in the designated space.

 

Despite opposition from the Muslim side, who argued against Hindus being granted the right to worship there, the District Judge's court rejected all counterarguments. As a result, Hindus have now been given the green light to resume worship in the basement.
