Varanasi, Nov 8: A Varanasi fast-track court postponed the case till November 14 in response to a request for worship of the ‘Shivling,’ which the Hindu side claimed to have discovered on the grounds of the Gyanvapi mosque.
As the concerned judge will not be present in the Fast Track court today, the case was postponed until November 14.
The court was expected to rule on the three main demands, which included granting permission for Swayambhu Jyotirlinga Bhagwan Vishweshwar to immediately begin offering prayers, turning over the entire Gyanvapi complex to Hindus, and “banning the entry of Muslims” within the grounds of the Gyanvapi complex.
The Varanasi court had rejected allowing a “scientific study” of the alleged “Shivling” during the prior hearing, which had occurred in October.
The Hindu side had asked for carbon dating of the object inside the wazukhana of the Gyanvapi Mosque that they believed to be a Shivling.
The discovered building, according to the Muslim side, was a “fountain,” though. On September 22, the Hindu side had filed a request with the Varanasi District Court asking for a carbon dating of the artefact they claimed to be the “Shivling.”
The Hindu side declared that they will appeal the Varanasi court’s decision not to permit a “scientific investigation” of the alleged “Shivling,” which they claimed to have discovered on the grounds of the Gyanvapi mosque, to the Supreme Court.
