The Archaeological Survey of India submitted th🎉e survey report of the Gyanvapi mosque compl✤ex to a Varanasi district court on Monday.
On December 11, the Varanasi district court had given the𒐪 ASI one more week to submit a scientific survey report of the Gyanvapi mosque complex. Notably, this marked♉ the sixth time that the court had granted an extension for the ASI to file its survey report.
The court🐬 had previously provid🐠ed additional time to the ASI on September 6, October 5, November 2, November 17, and November 30.
The ASI initiated the survey withꦅin the bar🎉ricaded area of the Gyanvapi premises, excluding its sealed section, on August 4. This action followed court orders aimed at determining whether the 17th-century mosque was constructed over a pre-existing structure of a Hindu temple.
During an earlier hearing, the mosque management committee ra﷽ised objections to the survey, alleging that the ASI was digging the basement and other areas of the mosque complex without permission, accumulating debris on the western wall and posing a risk of structural collapse.
The mosque panel ꧋emphasized that the ASI team was not authorized to survey the premises by removing debris or garb♔age.
Additionally, the Gyanvapi committee had moved the Supreme Court against the high court's 🅺order. On August 4ജ, the apex court had refused to stay the high court's order regarding the ASI survey.
