Gyanvapi verdict: No survey for sealed area, key takeaways of judgement

Gyanvapi Verdict: The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has been allowed by a Varanasi court to proceed with the scientific survey of the Gyanvapi Mosque. The court has given a green signal to the ASI to conduct the survey barring the area which was sealed earlier. The ASI has been asked by the court to submit its report on August 4. The court of AK Vishvesh upheld the petition of a group of Hindu devotees seeking a scientific survey to determine if the mosque was built at the site of a Hindu temple. The Muslims side had opposed the plea, saying an ASI survey could damage the complex. However, after the judgement, the Muslim side has said that it will now approach the High Court against the Varanasi court's verdict.
