PRAYAGRAJ, Dec. 19, 2023 (TBINN)
Allahabad High Court today dismissed pleas challenging the maintainability of a 1991 Civil Suit pending before a Varanasi Court seeking restoration of a temple at the site where Gyanvapi Mosque exists, while observing that the religious character of the disputed place can only be decided by the court.
Justice Rohit Ranjan Agarwal held that the suit filed before the District Court is maintainable and not barred by The Places of Religious Worship Act, 1991.
The court said that dispute raised in the suit is of vital national importance as it affects two major communities of the country and directed the lower court to decide the suit expeditiously, preferably within six months.
