Gyanvapi Mosque Complex: Varanasi Court Grants 4 More Weeks To ASI To Complete Scientific Survey

A Varanasi court on Thursday granted 4 more weeks to the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to complete the scientific survey of the Gyanvapi mosque complex and submit its report.

The court added that the duration of the survey will not be extended beyond this.

Government counsel Rajesh Mishra stated that District Judge A.K. Vishvesh accepted their appeal to extend the period of the ongoing survey by 4 more weeks during a hearing on a plea by the ASI.

The ASI, which was to submit the report of the survey by October 6, now has time untill November 6 to do the same.

The ASI is carrying out a scientific survey of the Gyanvapi mosque premises, next to Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi, for determining whether the 17th-century mosque was constructed over a pre-existing structure of a Hindu temple.
