Adovacte Vishnu Shankar Jain statated to media that ASI Survey to be commence anytime today. Allahabad High Court vacated All Stay and Petitions which filed by Masjid committee. Representatives of  Anjuman Intezamia Committee of Gyanvapi Masjid has said that they will challenge this Allahabad High court Order.
Earlier, on Thursday 27 July,  Allahabad High Court  Reserved its order for August 3.

The plea in the Allahabad High Court was filed by the Muslim side after a Varanasi court allowed the ASI to conduct the survey, with a report submission deadline of August 4, excluding the sealed area.

on 27 July, during the hearing, the matter concerning the scientific survey of the Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi was discussed full in length. the ASI assured the bench that the survey would be completed by August 4 without causing any damage to the Gyanvapi premises. The Chief Justice of Allahabad High Court Justice Pritinker Diwaker inquired about the history of the temple, and the Hindu side explained that the new temple was constructed by Ahilyabai Holkar after Aurangzeb had demolished the old temple and built a mosque.

The Muslim side argued that the petition by the Hindu side for the survey was premature, and they should gather all the evidence before such a survey is ordered. They also expressed their concern over facing numerous suits in Varanasi related to the Gyanvapi issue.

Responding to the Muslim side’s concerns, the Chief Justice asked if there was any direction for further progress of the suit, to which the Muslim side responded that there was no specific direction yet.

One of the lawyers representing the Hindu side argued that the ASI survey was necessary because Anjuman a Intezamia Masjid committee claimed that the disputed structure was a product of imagination and had no connection to ground reality. They stated that the mosque had been exclusively under the possession of Muslims since its inception.
