Advocate M M Yadav said District Judge Anil Kumar told the court that since the Allahabad High Court was scheduled to hear the matter on February 12, there was no point in the district court hearing it now.
The Court today also opined that the main case boiled down to who was in possession over the disputed site when barricades were set up near the Gyanvapi mosque in 1993.
On January 31, the Varanasi district court allowed puja (prayers) in the southern cellar of the Gyanvapi mosque complex. The southern cellar was opened the same night and a priest performed prayers.
