The District Judge will give his verdict on Thursday afternoon regarding making public the report of the survey conducted by the Archaeological Survey of India of the Gyanvapi complex in Varanasi. District Judge Dr. Ajay Krishna Vishwesh has heard the arguments of both the parties. During an hour-long debate in the court on Wednesday, both sides presented their arguments. When the women and lawyers who filed the petition on behalf of the Hindu side asked for a hard copy of the survey report, the Muslim side submitted an application to send it by mail. On the other hand, Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has appealed not to make the report public for four weeks. ASI’s lawyer cited the order of the High Court and the submission of the report in the case going on in the Senior Division FTC. However, today is an important day and everyone’s eyes are on it. ASI says that a second copy of the survey has to be filed in the Lower Court also. This will take at least four weeks. In such a situation, the report should not be made public for four weeks. The Muslim side has already demanded that the report not be made public under any circumstances. After which the hearing was postponed. Now the hearing will be held today i.e. Thursday.
American scientists have done study with Hyderabad
It is noteworthy that Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) had conducted a survey on all aspects including GPR, photographs, videography in the Gyanvapi complex in 84 days. The Archaeological Survey Department has prepared its report in 36 days. It took 30 days to prepare the GPR report. It has been prepared by America’s GPR survey experts. The team of scientists from America along with Hyderabad had conducted an in-depth study up to a depth of 10 meters for several days. Then reports were made in America with the help of radar in the range of 400 to 900 megahertz and above. Hindu side’s lawyer Vishnu Shankar Jain said that the Archaeological Survey Department has violated the order of the Supreme Court by presenting the survey report sealed. The Supreme Court has not mentioned anywhere that the report will be submitted sealed, but has said that the report will be presented in the normal manner. Even before this, a sealed report was not filed. First of all, the Hindu side has also applied to receive the report through email. Now the Muslim side has also applied in the District Judge’s court and asked for the report on the authorized email ID. On January 3, the four women who filed the petition and their lawyers will appear in the court and ask for the email-hard copy. If this is not done, we will file a complaint in the Supreme Court.
