સંભાળ: અલ્હાબાદ HCએ જામા મસ્જિદના સર્વે મામલામાં મુસ્લિમ પક્ષને ઝટકો, ફગાવી અરજી manners The Allahabad High Court recently declined to grant any relief to one of the parties of the Gyanvapi Masjid case, which is currently under consideration. The Court, however, refused to go into the title suit status and instead iterated that the matter was under the consideration of the lower court. It is worth mentioning here that the Supreme Court is also seized of a petition filed by the Anjuman Intezamia Committee (AIC), which is against the decision of the Allahabad High Court dismissing its plea against an order passed by the Varanasi district court. The Anjuman Intezamia Committee is the management committee of the Gyanvapi mosque and had challenged an order of the Varanasi district court allowing a court-mandated survey. The AIC had challenged the court-mandated survey and the order of the trial court to place the ‘Shivling’ in a sealed container within the complex. The management also argues that the mosque is not a part of the Waqf properties and that it is an integral part of Gyanvapi Mosque, which is not the subject matter of the original Shia Waqf Suit (No. 1). It argues that only the original parties to the suit are involved in the suit. The mosque committee claims that it was not given an opportunity to be heard in the suit. Despite the claims, the Allahabad High Court has refused to grant any relief to the mosque management. It, however, has acknowledged that the mosque is a Wakf property, and that it is the subject matter of a previous litigation. It is very likely that the matter will proceed to the Supreme Court for further consideration. The appellate court has already ruled on the matter, and its decision will no doubt be contested in the apex court. Additionally, the seven-judge bench of the Apex Court is also currently hearing the case relating to the land in the Gyanvapi Masjid area, which is surrounded by Hindu temples. The Court has directed both the parties to the case to file their respective affidavits within four weeks. The Allahabad High Court had earlier noted that the Varanasi judge had erred in his observations that the place in dispute is not a mosque or that it is not a Waqf property. The High Court further said that the Varanasi judge has not considered the implications of the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991, and the Waqf Act, 1995. The Court further observed that the lower court did not appropriately apply its mind to the matter. .
