ASI

The Wazukhana was sealed two years ago after an alleged Shivling was discovered, which the Muslim side describes as a fountain, while the Hindu side claims it to be a Shivling

The Hindu side claims the original Jyotirlinga lies beneath the dome of the alleged mosque in the Gyanvapi complex. They want the ASI to excavate the site

SC issues a directive restraining the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) from conducting excavations during its scientific survey of Bhojshala.

ASI conducted the third day of its survey today.

Vishnu Shankar Jain, the advocate involved in the case, shared insights into the court's order, emphasizing the importance of the ASI's statutory duty in conducting such surveys.

The bench of Justices SA Dharmadhikari and Dev Narayan Mishra instructed, "Get the survey done. Photos and videos should be made. The report should be given to the court before April 29, during the next hearing."

The Supreme Court registrar was approached by attorneys for the Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee, who requested an immediate hearing.

According to Vishnu Shankar Jain, the lawyer for the Hindu side in the Gyanvapi Masjid-Kashi Vishwanath temple issue, the ASI discovered vestiges of a sizable Hindu temple inside the mosque

According to Madan Mohan Yadav, the lawyer for the Hindu side, District Judge A K Vishvesh ordered that both the Muslim and Hindu parties submit an affidavit promising to keep the report confidential.

According to sources before the sealed survey report was opened, the ASI asked the court to grant them additional four weeks.
