Gyanvapi Masjid Row: Survey team likely to demand more time to submit report | ABP News

The original complaint was filed in the Varanasi district court in 1991 for the restoration of the ancient temple on the site of the Gyanvapi mosque. Following a petition by Delhi residents Rakhi Singh, Laxmi Devi, Sita Sahu, and others, Civil Judge (Senior Division) Ravi Kumar Diwakar ordered a video survey of the mosque on April 18, 2021. The Muslim side has cited Section 4 of the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991, which prohibits any judicial process for the modification of a place of worship's religious character, as it existed on August 15, 1947.
