Varanasi Court Grants Hindus Permission to Worship in Sealed Gyanvapi Mosque Basement

In a recent development, a Varanasi court has granted permission for Hindus to conduct worship within the sealed basement of the Gyanvapi mosque. The court has instructed the district administration to facilitate the necessary arrangements within the next seven days. According to the court's ruling, Hindu devotees will now be able to offer prayers at the 'Vyas Ka Tehkhana,' a specific area sealed off within the Gyanvapi mosque.

Advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain, representing the Hindu community, expressed their satisfaction with the decision, stating that "The Hindu side has been allowed to offer prayers at 'Vyas Ka Tehkhana.' The District Administration will have to make arrangements within seven days. Everyone will now have the right to perform puja."

Conversely, the Muslim community has indicated its intention to appeal the court's decision in the High Court. This ruling marks a significant development in an ongoing legal dispute and is expected to have implications on religious rights and property disputes in the region.
