A Civil Court in Varanasi district of UP has allowed the Archaeological Survey of India to undertake a survey at the disputed site of Kashi Vishwanath Temple-Gyanvapi Mosque.
The Court has directed the Uttar Pradesh government to bear the cost of the survey.
ASI has been asked to do the survey to find if there was a "
superimposition, alteration or addition or structural overlapping with/over, any other religious structure."
The development comes in a petition field by Advocate Vijay Shankar Rastogi on behalf of Swayambhu Jyotirlinga Bhagwan Vishweshwar.
The Petitioner sought a declaration that the land on which the Mosque is built belongs to the Hindus. The Court has been urged to declare that Hindus have the right to worship and reconstruct their temple on the said land.
