On Monday, the Allahabad High Court denied a plea that contested a ruling permitting Hindus to do puja in the southern crypt of the Gyanvapi complex in Varanasi. Situated in the southern part of the Gyanvapi mosque complex, the 'Vyas Ji Ka Tehkhana' allows Hindus to worship. The Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee filed a challenge contesting this Varanasi court ruling. Justice Rohit Ranjan Aggarwal heard the case on a single bench.

Situated in the southern part of the Gyanvapi mosque complex, the 'Vyas Ji Ka Tehkhana' allows Hindus to worship. The Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee filed a challenge contesting this varanasi court ruling. Justice Rohit Ranjan Aggarwal heard the case on a single bench.
 
"Today, the varanasi district Court's rulings from january 17 and january 31 were challenged before the allahabad high court, which dismissed the first appeal from the Anjuman Intezamia orders. The important thing to remember is that the ongoing puja at the Gyanvapi complex's "Vyas Ji Ka Tehkhana" will carry on, according to Hindu side representative counsel vishnu Shankar Jain.
 
"The high court has acknowledged that there used to be pujas and religious rites performed there; nevertheless, the religious rites were discontinued in 1993 without a formal decree or record. Thus, today's ruling by the district court was affirmed. Our side won the case before the High Court. The high court has dismissed Anjuman Intezamia's objection," lawyer Subhash Nandan Chaturvedi told news agency ANI.
 
Hindu worshippers were permitted to do prayers in the southern cellar of the Gyanvapi buildings on january 31 by a varanasi court.
 
In addition, the court requested the Shri kashi vishwanath temple Trust to choose a priest for the puja and instructed the district government to organise the required logistics for the devotees to execute it.
 
The mosque committee then filed a challenge in the allahabad high court against the judgement of the varanasi court ruling.
 
On february 15, the high court had postponed making a ruling after hearing the arguments.
 
The supreme court was approached by four female litigants who wanted a survey and excavation of the Gyanvapi mosque's sealed portion. This led to the varanasi court issuing its ruling. The Archaeological survey of india (ASI) study, which the Hindu side said showed that a sizable Hindu temple existed prior to the construction of the Gyanvapi mosque, prompted the top court to hear the appeal.
 
The ladies pleaded that by excavating the entire enclosed chamber and utilising various scientific techniques, along with the removal of artificial/modern walls and floors around it, the precise nature of the "Shivling" might be ascertained.
 
A number of Hindu activists contest the existence of a temple that formerly stood near the location of the disputed Gyanvapi mosque. The Muslim side rejects this claim, claiming the temple was destroyed in the 17th century on the emperor Aurangzeb's instructions.
